I don't have any solutions for you, but just a bit of info. I too (and at
least one other subscriber that I know of) have Alpha PC164-based machines
similar to your configuration (without the netgear card) and have been unable
to use any of the 2.4.x kernel series. I am able to compile and boot a 2.4.x
kernel, but it freezes the machine when any network access occurs, requiring
a hard reboot. Others have reported identical behavoir.
I have tried a RealTek 8139 10/100 ethernet card as well, with the same
results.
