[eepro100] linux 2.2.18 + Intel D815EEA == no joy

I'm trying to run a freshly compiled 2.2.18 kernel on an Intel D815EEA
with a 667MHz Celeron.  The machine recognizes the built-in Ethernet
when I insmod eepro100.  However when I try to ftp something, after
transferring a couple of MB the driver hangs and starts spitting out
messages:
  eepro100: cmd_wait for 0xffffff80 timedout

I read through the mail archives and everything I could find was
referring to 2.2.16.  Have there been changes that would break with
2.2.18?  I tried compiling the Intel driver (e100) but got a compilation
error due to conflicting types for dma_addr_t.  Their readme says that
they have only tried it up to 2.2.17.

Should I give up on 2.2.18 and move back to 2.2.16?  Should I try using
the 2.2.16 driver in my 2.2.18 kernel?  Any thoughts would be
appreciated!
