[vortex] 3c59x driver sometimes gets wedged in 2.4.25

I'd like to report a bug on my networking card with the 3c59x driver
under 2.4.25.
This card has faithfully served me until I did a computer upgrade a
few months ago. This upgrade included an nforce2 motherboard and a TV
capture card. I believe the DMA? IRQ? of the TV capture card is what
induces this problem. It only seems to happen after a dozen hours or
so of running the TV capture card.

01:07.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xc800. Vers LK1.1.18-ac
00:50:da:6c:c9:93, IRQ 11
product code 5847 rev 00.12 date 10-18-99
Internal config register is 1000000, transceivers 0xa.
8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface.
Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
01:07.0: scatter/gather enabled. h/w checksums enabled
*********************** DMESG errors ********************
I got errors where dmesg continues to repeat these errors forever:
eth0: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.
diagnostics: net 0cd8 media 8880 dma 000000a0.

2: @f2dda280 length 8000002a status 0000002a

********************* Diagnostics *******************
After the failure, I attempted to remove and reinstert the
module. Then ran these diagnostics:
./vortex-diag -aeemmf >vortex-diag.fail.txt
./mii-diag -rfv eth0 >mii-diag.fail.txt
After the reboot, I immediately ran these:
./vortex-diag -aeemmf >vortex-diag.work.txt
./mii-diag -rfv eth0 >mii-diag.work.txt
