Steve, I had the same problem as you did with an MV16 (video works fine/no ethernet, hangs when selecting Ethernet in Appletalk in 8.1). I bought another MV16EN and found out my original one was the plain MV16 without Ethernet. d'oh! If you aren't sure - have a look at the card. The MV16EN has two big chips that the standard MV16 is lacking, but has space for on the card. The picture at the startup of the MV16EN installer shows one of the chips intact on the card.
If you do have an EN variant, do you have the card plugged into the dongle? It doesn't power it up if it isn't, allegedly. Also do you have the dongle plugged into a Hub with connection/receive lights? If the connection light is on the hub, the card probably isn't physically broken. Otherwise, either the Ethernet part is broken, or like me you are just using the MV16 with an MV16EN dongle... I have a later (I think) 5300cs with 16Mb RAM onboard, running OS 8.1. I haven't tried any network comms yet, but the card connects up properly now (lights come on on the hub and flash when i try and send stuff!)
