I don't actually run Debian, and I don't actually have a Linksys, but
I believe my Netgear 310TX has the same chipset:
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev 32).
IRQ 5.
Master Capable. Latency=32.
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc4ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe1000000 [0xe10000ff].
It does work with the Tulip driver. But I have also noticed that it
wants IRQ 5. Plugging in one of these cards into a system which
wanted to assign it to IRQ 11 did not work. Which is not to say there
isn't a way to make it work. So I'm guessing you need to address the
IRQ issue; perhaps someone else can provide more assistance on how to
do this.

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
