Jonathan,

I've succesfully applied patch and reinstall module as you suggest me in 
previous e-mail (thanks for help in module reinstalling!)

{
       rmmod 3c59x; insmod 
/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/drivers/net/3c59x.ko; insmod 
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.ko
      ifdown eth0;ifup eth0;ifdown eth2;ifup eth2
} &

and I have to add ifdown/ifup for my network interfaces after it.

I've tested patched driver, but unfortunately it contains the same bug,
copying large file via eth0 stills breaks eth0 communication... :-(

Of course I've checked via lsmod different size of memory of patched
and original driver to be sure that I've loaded patched driver instead 
of original.

Regards,
Karol
