It means that a 3c59 is not the same thing as a 3c509.  Apparently something 
in kernel '1637' has an error.  Just use '1456' and file a bug report and 
hopefully it will get fixed.  

3c509!  That was when parts were made to last, obviously.  Still have several 
of those in a storage box somewhere and use them on occasion.

HTH,
