I am having exactly the same trouble.  It seems that the card can=20
receive but not transmit.  I also have tried multiple kernels; it seems=20
that the last time that it worked was 2.4.17, and before that 2.2.20. =20
I have tried 2.4.20, 2.4.22, 2.6.0, 2.6.1, and 2.6.1-benh.I also can't=20
compile the diagnostics, and my ifconfig looks very similar.  I have=20
tried so many things, and am at the end of my skills.  If anyone has=20
any help, I would appreciate it greatly (and I'm sure that Bill will to=20
:) )
Thanks,
Steven
