What problem does it have with 2.4.x?

I've seen NE2000 clones do more than 25% of the bandwidth of 100baseT. I
really doubt that this is the entire problem, or even a significant part of
it.

This is totally wrong. There are two speeds for PCI, 33MHz and 66MHz, which
come in both 32bit and 64bit variants. 32bit * 33MHz can do 132MB/s in burst
mode, doing 10MB/s is no great challenge.

You just don't want to use ISA at all if you want performance.
