As an update:
Whenever i take off the cable from an ethernet card the message:
> Mar 8 18:04:56 linux kernel: rteth0: Abnormal interrupt, status 00000002.
appears. So that isn't a problem, just a warning because the lan is down.
As i'm using 9 cards in 3 different pcs, i'm just post the PCI IDs
from the problematic pc. When i started using tdma extended
configuration one pc (with SUSE 9.2) sent some packages to the
network.

All the cards are identical, all of them are D-Link.
