If it counts for anything, i had some pretty wierd behaviour with a 3c590
.. it was in the 960601-snap, when using the 3c590 (it was an asus mother
board, with ide disabled, and a aha2940W) it worked fine, and infact well
enough to do a network install via ftp from, but once the operating system
was installed, i experienced VERY odd behaviour:
   o any outbound connections will hang after transfering approx 1K
     (ie: telnet from the box, ftp from the box)
   o all inbound (incoming telnet, incoming ftp) worked perfectly fine.

I decided to yank the 590 and put in a 3c509 and everything works just
fine.
