	I am tried this driver with linux-2.0.35 and linux-2.1.125-ac2
(Alan Cox patch) kernels, but there were following messages:

  ... and network was stoping for ~5 sec. when this message appeared.  
Hardware: Amd K6-2/300Mhz, 64Mb SDRAM, ALi ALADDIN V motherboard.
  When using windblows95 this network card works reliably.
  And the last thing - network speed used was 10Mbit.
  So, what can be done to make this thing work ? Or should I go and buy
3com card ?
