IS the driver for the NIC actually working? Use ifconfig to see if
you're getting packet errors, or if the device is even configured. 0 RX
packets usually means something is bolloxed up in your configuration -
either the driver can't talk to the card because of a hardware conflict,
or it's making bas assumptions, etc.
I fought with an SMC 8013 today which had these problems. Installing it
in a different ISA slot fixed the problems. I don't know why :)
ps. Between dmesg, ifconfig, and the proc filesystem you can poke
around and get a good idea of what Linux thinks is going on, and how
that meshes with what's supposed to be going on.
