welp, I am hopinh I have solved it by replacing the tlan card with a 3COM 3c590 card, and I built a new kernel, embedding the nic and scsi drivers, and disabling everything I didn't think I needed... APM was one of them. Not that I think this Pre-1996 Compaq system has APM, but I dislike APM altogether anyway.
