I had the same problem when I tried to get my LinkSys card going. BTW,
LinkSys has a new source for their tulip driver posted on their website with
instructions on how to compile it in (v.91 I believe). But even with the new
source I could never get my LinkSys to respond to a ping. Finally, I
returned the LinkSys card and replaced it with a 3COM 905C-TX-M. 3COM now
has Linux driver source on their website for most 905B and 905C NICs. This
compiled up in both SMP and non SMP mode fine and worked liked a charm. It
costs more, but then again it works. I don't know why the LinkSys card never
worked, I just know that I put a lot of effort into getting it to work, so
to save you time you might want to punt early and switch out NICs.

Subject: linksys Network Everywhere NC100 10/100 PCI error
I have installed RH 6.1 (kernal 2.2.12-20) in an Abit BM-6 with Celeron 366
and am having the following error:
1. install recognized and seemed to configure it, unlike a previous install
in an Abit BX-6R2 where it wasn't even recognized. Ifconfig shows IRQ 11 at
base 0xe800
2. driver it appears to use in /lib/modules/2.2-12.2-/net/tulip.o file is
33,536 bytes, dated sept. 27,1999. The driver on the Linksys disk is 32,180
bytes dated 8/27/99 and the Linksys readme states this tulip.o file is for
kernal 2.0.34, so I haven't even tried the Linksys supplied driver.
3. The NIC or OS is constantly spitting out to the console: "eth0: transmit
timed out, status e4260000, CSR12, 000000ce, resetting..."
I can't get the errors to stop, nor can I ping any local pc's, it says
"destination unreachable."
Tried 2 different NICs, id on chip says "Network Everywhere, NC100,
C994031DBX"
Thanks,
