[tulip] Linksys Etherfast 10/100

I'm using a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 rev. 5 in my Debian firewall box.
It's setup as eth1, with eth0 being a 3com 3c509. eth0 goes to my dsl
modem, and eth1 goes to my internal lan. I'm using
ipmasquerading and ipchains from kernel 2.2.19.

There are no irq or io conflicts, and judging by the amount of data
being passed, things would seem to be working great. However, 
"less /proc/net/dev" shows that I have 0 transmitted packets, and 806769
transmit errors. Quoted below is the full output from /proc/net/dev, and
ifconfig. 

I've tried different cables, different hubs, changing which NIC goes to
the dsl modem and the other to the lan, etc. and nothing seems to help.
Is there something obvious I'm overlooking, or is the card bad?

TIA,
Jacob
