[tulip-bug] LNE 100Tx Problem

I apologize in advance if a similar problem has already been posted.  I have
a Linksys LNE 100TX v4 in a dual PII 400 system.  I've performed a fresh
2.2.18 kernel install.  The tulip module loads fine, and while pinging other
systems I can see activity flutter across the hub.  However, I get nothing
returned from the network.  Here's the output from tulip_diag:

If anyone has a work-around/kludge/etc. I'd be interested in trying it.
