The is-raising-an-interrupt bit is 0001.
0xe601  means
  0xe000 Using register window 7 (normal)
  0x0600 Down/Up complete -- you have transmitted packets, and Rx packets
      are waiting to be removed from the Rx queue.

Use to /proc/interrupt to see if the interrupt count is increasing.

You can use 'vortex-diag -p 0x300 -a' (replace 0x300 with the I/O address
reported in the detection message) to see the status of the card.

This might be a configuration problem, or it might be an issue with David
Hinds' code and your laptop.
