Are you sure you're actually using the 3c59x module? Unless you've put
a PCI card into it, I can assure you it won't be used. Here's the
excerpt from the output of dmesg on one of my boxes (Intel based) that
does have a card that uses this driver.
3c59x.c 18Feb01 Donald Becker and others http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c590 Vortex 10Mbps at 0xe400, 00:a0:24:96:1b:6e, IRQ 9
8K byte-wide RAM 1:1 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface.
If you tell the configuration system to use that module, but the hardware
doesn't exist, the driver will notice and just fail. I suspect you have
the support for your onboard ethernet built into your kernel, so any
configuration you set for what type of card you have is ignored.
Try running the command 'dmesg | grep eth0' and you should find out what
is actually loading as your main ethernet interface. Here's my G4:
eth0: GMAC at 00:0a:27:94:55:50, driver v1.5k4
eth0: PHY ID: 0x00406212
eth0: Found Broadcom BCM5201 PHY
eth0: Link state change, phy_status: 0x782d
eth0: Link up ! BCM5201/5221 aux_stat: 0x003c
eth0: Full Duplex: 0, Speed: 10
