Hi,

I have tried to have this card working with a linux 2.2.14 kernel. Chip
is 83c171 A2QF. 

The NIC isn't transmitting data at all. Symptoms are TX transmit error TX
status=4003.

When replacing the driver shipped with the kernel (v1.04) with v1.06, the  
card won't trasmit more. But _8_ interfaces are found instead 
of one.

I found a patch on this list (see below). But it doesn't solve the
problem.
v1.07h isn't working for me too...

Did someone manage to have this NIC work ? 

Thank you very much for your help.
