Did you compile it as a module?  If so, try adding "options=12" to the "alias
eth0 3c59x" line in your /etc/conf.modules file.  If that doesn't work then
instead try adding a new line below the alias line as follows: "options 3c59x
options=12".  If that doesn't work you can try to figuring it out from the
3c59x.c source file or browsing Donald Becker's home page for it.  Let me know
if and how you solve your problem.
