Problems with multiport Tulip-based card

I have an ANA-6944A/TX card. It seems it does not work properly
with new 2.4.0xxx kernels. Quick look at /proc entries arises
suspections wrt IRQ sharing (eth[02] work OK, eth1 doesn't,
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out" messages).

- kernel that works (test1-pre3):

scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.0/3.2.4
scsi1 : sym53c8xx - version 1.5m
Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.4.3 (Apr 14, 2000)
