I have a 3Com 3c900 (combo, rev A) that has lately developed a little
fault. The behaviour suggests that it loses an output interrupt
sometimes, or perhaps locks up... ifconfig reports that the link is
OACTIVE, and nothing works. 

If you ifconfig down, ifconfig up, that fixes the problem, so it is
within the ability of the driver to correct, given that a timeout or
some such triggers the correct recovery.

Anyway, I am willing to donate the card to anybody who WANTS TO FIX THE
DRIVER to deal with this apparent failure mode, since the card is
completely usable otherwise.

Contact me if you want to work on this.
