 Now I did.

 Wow, if even the *author* of the kernel module says the following I may
have to go NIC shopping: "PCI NE2000 clones are a bad idea ... This trend
has continued to the PCI bus. A NE2000 design makes little sense here. " 
 Certainly, it fits my observations; previous installations all used the
same kernel module (but Win doesn't). The NIC worked fine in a local
10Mbps network, but cable modem may require something faster...

Thanks man! ........................ Horst

Mike, also thanks for the tip, but given the gravity of the statement
above I may just waste time with kernel and/or IRQ tweaking at each new
installation.
