There are a few problems with 3c59x-new.c. The mem init stuff, the
module and config changes, and the multicast changes. (Nothing is
sacred anymore, not even the venerable configure script...)
You can find a patch that will fix up 3c59x-new.c for the 1.3.45 tree on:
http://rsphy1.anu.edu.au/~gpg109
Look under the "Net Patches" section.
Merry xmas.
