I have a similar, but slightly newer, 3CCFE575CT Tornado CardBus card 
that I use in a 600E. Since I use it often I build the driver into the 
kernel rather than have it as a module. I'm not using 2.4.28 yet, I'm 
still on 2.4.27 with Debian's patches and the 2.4.26 low latency patches 
applied. I've used many kernels in the 2.4.x series and I've never had a 
single problem with this card.

I think it might very well be a symptom of the problem. Can you try 
rebuilding your kernel with 3c59x built in? If you do that and the 
rx_copybreak isn't found your kernel won't link, and then you can start 
troubleshooting that problem. Or maybe it will just work.
