I've just spent two days trying to figure this out, too,
Apparently the LNE110TX is a new card and requires the new tulip
driver from Donald Becker. Full directions are at
http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html
Briefly, you do this:
# Transfer the Scyld PCI Netdriver package
rpm -i ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.0.src.rpm
# Build the binary version for your kernel
cd /usr/src/{redhat,TurboLinux}/
rpm -bb SPECS/netdriver.spec
# Now install it your newly built package.
rpm -i --force RPMS/i386/netdriver-2.0-*.i386.rpm
One key fact that is somewhat glossed over in the instructions is that
when loading the tulip driver manually you must first load the
pci-scan module, eg,
insmod pci-scan
insmod tulip
but when loading it automatically via the /etc/conf.modules file, that
precedence is handled automatically, so that
alias eth0 tulip
is sufficient.
With this new tulip driver the Linksys card works perfectly.
