Hmm, I should really have a look if it happens to me too, but as far as I remember - before making the E100 patch - it was definitely usable, performance wasn't stellar but it happily did 700KB/s or so ( I'm using a 10/100MBit switch via built-in RJ45, the switch does auto-MDI which confuses some other ethernet boards (like the onboard DEC21140 of my PowerStack, happens with both AIX and Debian, for some reason it doesn't happen to a PCI card with a 21140) but not these )

Hmm, I know that's not satisfying but any cheap PCI NE2000 or RealTek 8139 should just work.
Did you test the digital board recently? The driver is full of device-specific quirks, maybe yours needs another one.

Damn, I wish I could get my hands on some docs about the QLogic 1020 and the PCI-based JackHammer cards to get the SCSI part of the E100 to work - they definitely did some weird things to the chip :(

have fun
