I have seen exactly this problem with various and sundry LinkSys
PCMPC100 ethernet cards.  They keep changing the card, apparently.
The first was PCMPC100, then there was PCMPC100.v2 and the last I saw
was PCMPC100.v3.  Some of the originals worked okay, but I never got a 
.v2 or .v3 working successfully.

My solution was to switch to 3com 574B and the ep driver...

Not all that helpful, but a data point.
