Please CC me, as I don't follow the list. Please also forgive me if I'm stepping on toes. I'm in user-space. I have had similar problems (network server not responding) with both a Netgear FA311 (DP83815) and a Macronix (tulip) card when using Donald Becker's drivers under 2.2.x kernels

I found something from OpenBSD: the natsemi chip (in fact DP83815) is quite the same as SiS900 one. You'll find as attachement the driver code from OpenBSD. If someone wo knows something about OpenBSD driver could merge the driver drivers into Linux, I think it would be a real great deal !

Well, I know this problem very well It seems that the original driver has some problems to set up the chip and flush its receive buffers before transmitting them. I made some patches to make this chip work well. I have one for 2.2.17 kernel, and one for 2.4.0 one. I sent this patch to D.
