LinkSys LNE100TX

[Max Freedom]

I installed a LinkSys EtherFast LNE100TX in an old Gateway 60 MHz
Pentium running Red Hat Linux 5.2. The system is attached to a 3Com LAN
modem (10base-T hub).

It doesn't work:

# netstat   -i

Iface   MTU Met  RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR  TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR

BLRU

But the system does see the board:

The only LED lit on the card is the link indicator.

Any idea what the problem is?
