3c59x transmit timed out.

3c59x transmit timed out.

[Evgeniy Polyakov]

Here is part of the dmesg on my 3c59x test machine.
This happend first time and I'm quite sure after module reloading things
will be ok again, so it is not bug report but probably some meat for brain...

Hmm... I can not login using neither serial console, nor direct access,
it looks like something eats 100% cpu, since I can scroll console and
type, but login is frozen.

You can find lspci -vxxx at the end.
Kernel is 2.6.16.
