In short:
Cyrix Multimedia box
Everything onboard, including ethernet.
Works as supposed to under 2.2.x (including 2.2.19pre7)
installing 2.4.0 kernel recognises the driver but
no byte is passed over the ethernet.

The machine is connected to a 3com 8ports 100Mbit hub
no additional parameters when the module is loaded, except i tried
debug=7 which gave verbose output
