I'd try to reseat the NE2000 or fiddle with the ROM port connector, that
helped me when the kernel would not recognize the card at all. Corruption
might mean it's only a few data lines that get dodgy after a while, or the
card may be fried. The driver worked without much trouble for me - can you
check with a MiNT driver and verify the card is not showing the same
symptoms?
I had a spare card around in Duesseldorf but I cannot remmeber whether I
packed it with my other stuff or not. I'll ping the people at my old lab
to see whether the card is still there. If they can locate it I'll have it
sent over.
It'll take another month or so before I can get my m68k stuff unpacked amd
set up. Unfortunately, ARAnyM does only help so much when debugging the
EtherNAT driver, and ARAnyM did not work on my Powerbook last time I
tried. I'm stil planning to work on it, come next month.
Sorry I cannot be of more help ATM,
Michael
