3c509: broken(verified)
The driver for the 3c509 of 2.4.7 is broken:
It is impossible to set the transmitter type.
Loading
modprobe 3c509 xcvr=X, where X is
0,1,2,3,4 doesn't make a difference.
Donald Becker verified that's a driver problem.
Can someone fix that ? Or is there a fix outthere ?
Sincerly,
Nico

but the card didn't accept/recognized what I told
it!modprobe 3c509 xcvr=4
