One problem I had with that card is as follows: Ethernet-HOWTO suggests and you turn off the PnP mode, and set it to a specific IRQ/base. Until I did that, it would not work absolutely, and in syslog I would get a message about Tx/Rx timing out, possible IRQ loss. I swapped card out of computer, put it into a windows machine, ran the utility from SMC to set the card, put it back into Linux box, compile support into kernel, and it worked perfect. Andrei
