I don't have any solutions for you, but just a bit of info. I too (and at least one other subscriber that I know of) have Alpha PC164-based machines similar to your configuration (without the netgear card) and have been unable to use any of the 2.4.x kernel series. I am able to compile and boot a 2.4.x kernel, but it freezes the machine when any network access occurs, requiring a hard reboot. Others have reported identical behavoir. I have tried a RealTek 8139 10/100 ethernet card as well, with the same results.
