Does that machine have any ISA cards? Maybe there is a conflict
somewhere, or maybe you can tell the card to use a different IRQ.
(ISTR setting the two tulip NICs I used to have to different IRQs with
kernel 2.4; I did it solely for performance)
On an old (ISA-only, no PCI) machine I had a conflict between a newer
ISA PnP NIC that decided to assume the same IRQ as an old
jumper-configured sound/cdrom card. The NIC could send, but not
receive. When I removed the sound/cdrom card the NIC worked just
fine. (I still need to go through all the jumpers on the sound card
and change its setting)
