Hi,
The first thing you should know is that linksys changes chip suppliers
like most of us change clothes. Over the last few years, the same model
cards have used 4 or 5 different chips. The tulip family and it's
clones have given the developers fits. You might try using the
old_tulip driver.
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
# modprobe old_tulip
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
If this works you can edit /etc/conf.modules and change tulip to old_tulip.
There was a post earlier by acar (subj: LINKSYS ETHERFAST) that you
might want to look at first. If that doesn't work try the above.
