Did you get the latest tulip.c driver source from the LinkSys web site and
build a new kernel? It might not help. Then again it might.

I have a LinkSys card like you are describing, but I had trouble keeping it
working. It would work for a while and then crap out. Re-initializing the
card got it going again (sometimes). Other times it would wait hours before
suddenly starting. The card worked fine in a Windoze box. That's when I
bought the RTL8139 card. I read that they're nothing more than blocks of
plastic glued to a board. All I can say is that they work fine in my Linux
box. The LinkSys card wouldn't and that's why it's sitting in a drawer now.

I run a 10 MB and a 100 MBit card in the same box and have no problems: a
3Com509 and an RTL8139 clone. I have plug & play and kudzu turned off
though.
