I've got a bunch of these cards, and they ran fine with the development
tulip.c drivers like 0.91g, when I was running on 10BaseT hubs. 
Unfortunately, in a recent move, I've got 2 new 24-port 10/100BaseTX
hubs.  I cannot use the 0.91g, or even 0.91x drivers with the newer
Linksys cards, on the 100BaseTX hub - the cards have all sorts of media
detection issues, and if they do work, lot's of transmit timeouts. 
0.91g worked fine on a 10BaseT hub with those cards.  Forcing the media
type doesn't help either.

Everything works fine under Linux 2.2.x with the Linksys modified 0.90f
driver though.

If you find a solution, I'd be anxious to know what it is...
