Zoom Internal Cable Modem

Hi,
I have a Zoom 5001 Internal PCI Cable Modem.  This card has been
discussed on this list before.

http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/tulip/2002-April/004128.html


Needless to state, I'm having problems :-(  The card is recognised,
the tulip module gets everything set up and once DHCP has done it's
stuff we're off and running.  However, ifconfig shows everything is not
peachy and before long the card hangs.  


Sometimes, taking the interface down, removing the module, installing
the module and bring up the interface works.  Mostly it's a reboot to
get everything going again.


I have a Dell Dimension with an onboard 3c905.  The onboard card does
not seem to be the problem.  I've tried disabling it in the bios, not
loading the kernal module and not bringing up the interface.  No go,
the Zoom still hangs.


I run debian with 2.4.22 and I've tried the latest drivers from
www.sycd.com.  No go, the card hangs with either driver.  The new
drivers seem better but I've no imperical evidence of this.


I will attempt to modify the driver as suggested back in 2002, but
shouldn't those changes be in the latest download?  I'm open to
suggestions and more than willing to help test ideas to get this card
up and running.  So, what should I do next?

Below is the output from various commands that I think might help.  I
would use the diagnostics but I seem to be getting compile errors, if
I sort that out I'll provide more info and maybe a patch to the diags
if needed.
