Known limitations:
Because of the way 3c509 ISA detection works it's difficult to predict
a priori which of several ISA-mode cards will be detected first.
This driver does not use predictive interrupt mode, resulting in higher
packet latency but lower overhead. If interrupts are disabled for an
unusually long time it could also result in missed packets, but in
practice this rarely happens.
FIXES:
Alan Cox: Removed the 'Unexpected interrupt' bug.
Michael Meskes: Upgraded to Donald Becker's version 1.07.
