GNIC-II "skput:over"

I have had problems with the cards using a ASUS P2B motherboard.  The
problem I currently have is no IRQ is sent after a successful transmit
and so I run out of transmit buffers.

Is there something subtly differet about these P2B range of boards? 
This may be an avenue to pursue.

David.
