What are the odds that this bug will be fixed soon? I used to love 3Com cards back in the days and I still have a good 15 or 20 of them in use around here, I think. Also, is this an issue specific to the 3c59x module, or is the 3c509 affected as well? I've just checked carefully and both my cards are 3c509 in this box.
I have already disabled kudzu and the problem is still there. I have included here a bunch of diagnostic information... can anyone see a misconfiguration anywhere, or perhaps have any suggestion on the problem?
