Wrap-up:
The net4801 is now working as expected.
(Before reading his post,) I did exactly what Nick suggested. This
worked well. Lesson learned: mixing bootloader and kernel from different
releases doesn't necessarily work.
Another lesson: An intuition told me that I might have had to sync after
dd'ing an image to the new CF card before taking it out of the
zillion-in-1 adapter (before any automatic sync occured, that is). A log
confirmed that I indeed forgot that sync. The reinstallation then should
have solved any of these.
Thanks to all who helped, or encouraged me by contributing their
comparative working or failing cases!
