You'll need to set speed and duplex settings when the module is loaded. Details for doing so are here: http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
In short, you add a line something like:
options 3c59x options=0, full_duplex=1
0ptions=0 sets it to auto select network speed,
full_duplex=1 forces it to use full_duplex mode.
I've had issues with 3c595 100BaseTX Vortex cards NOT selecting the correct network speed at times. Only way to get them to behave was to power-cycle the computer.

module is the 3c59x card.. ./ethtool -s autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
doesn't work .. it gives me " Cannot get current device settings: Device not
supported"
although I do see a setting for full duplex then I ./modinfo 3c59x..
Does this mean I need an updated driver that will allow me to set additional
settings.. Thanks for all the good suggestions.. they were all very effective.. _____
