[ltp] 3Com PCI 3CCFE575BT Cyclone CardBus in a TP 765L

[Tino Keitel]

Hi folks,

I tried to use a 3Com PCI 3CCFE575BT Cyclone CardBus card in my TP 765L
and didn't had any success. After the card gets recognized and
configured, it always breaks after some traffic. These are the log
messages:

I don't know if the missing rx_copybreak symbol is the reason for this,
but I thought that a 3Com card should work a little bit better than the
current RealTek card. :-(
