Except for the 3C590. Just give me 5 minutes and I'll make it hang
forever (that is, until you reset the card using ifconfig).
AFAIK this is a HW problem that 3Com admits to have, although I also read
some messages on a Linux driver update that solves (is a workaround for)
these problems.
We use Digital (DE450) cards, the _only_ cards we didn't have trouble
with (so far...).
