yeah. :^( Rules out those two theories pretty much.

Definitely not compatible.
And as noted in the previous email, I don't advise ifdown the NIC unless you can verify it will not corrupt the memory that was previously used for RX descriptors and RX buffers.
OTOH, 100BT cards are *so* cheap, it should be possible to replace if it's not built-in on the motherboard.
Sorry for the bad news and thanks for doing the extra tests.
But still, I'm hopeing for two code changes as a result: 1) include CSR5 and CSR6 in the printk output 2) the date of the tulip driver revision needs to be updated (or dropped).
