Rebuilt the kernel using using 2.4.1 + patch-2.4.1-ac20 :

Initial state is good, and now ping works. However, if I run IPTRAF, then
the card grinds to a halt after receiving about 2.6 Mbytes on try 1, then
11 Mbytes on try 2, after which it will neither receive or transmit :-(

After this the card is in a state such that it requires a reboot to be able
to do anything further.
