It had "4.1" printed on the chip (I don't have access to the machine any
more). My own PC has the same model of card, working fine, and the cardboard
box it came in has "V2.0" printed on it. It seems like a card version upgrade
can break the driver?

Thanks, I got some code from there and gave it a try but failed to get the
modules to load. The pci-scan would load OK, but tulip produced a bunch of
unresolved symbols. It looked like tweaking kernel parameters could have
helped, but I ran out of time.
I'm wondering, is anyone running a recently-bought card of this model
(LNE100TX) in Potato?
