I see the same problem with kernels more recent than 2.4.17 with my
D-Link DWL-650.
This card is likewise recognised as "eth1: Looks like an Intersil
firmware version 1.03".
As a result I have remained on 2.4.17 for some time now...
I have seen a suggestion elsewhere that it is possible to burn new
firmware into these cards, and that the DWL-650 (and possibly others)
have crappy firmware.
Regards,
Andrew.
