Not sure on the passing parameters, but I have four such cards. DLink DFE-530TX+, 2 of them work fine with 2.4.x kernels, but the two newer ones will not. And the factory supplied driver source will not compile with 2.4.x kernels. Perhaps you are caught with something like this. Actually there are two 8139 realtek drivers with the 2.4.x kernels, but neither have worked for me. Seems to be, at least in part, a problem with the chip ID's that the kernel finds. I have had no luck trying to patch these drivers to get them to work.
