Say yes to experimental drivers (first kernel configure option).
Good Luck! I got nightmares from this driver.
Now I'm running 2.4.0-test7 and everything seems stable (at least the last to
hours). (driver: 8139too)
I copied approx. one gig over the network and the driver was going two times
faster than the old 2.2.17 rtl8139.
The old one always died after some time and needed an ifconfig eth0 down -
ifconfig eth0 up.
