you said "Earlier versions of the tulip driver didn't support this
new/crappy version of the FA310TX". i compiled the latest, v0.90 tulip
driver, what does kernel to do with it? sorry if this is a dumb
question. besides, not being able to get on the net makes upgrading a
challenge.

Upgrade to 2.0.36. Earlier versions of the tulip driver didn't support
this new/crappy version of the FA310TX. Since Netgear switched the chips,
I've had many FA310TX's go bad, sometimes just taking down the ethernet
port, sometimes causing the system to crash. I think we're up to 20% RMA
rate so far on our last 2 10-packs. The first dozen which had real 21140
chips are rock solid.
