Hmmmm, that is a recent version.

What card do you actually have?  It should be reported in /proc/pci or by
running 'lspci'.

ADMtek has recently released a new 1/10-PNA (with 10/100) version of the
Centaur.  This new chip is only support by the privately released version.

I'm spending the rest of today working on and testing the Tulip driver,
incorporating several of the recent bug fixes:
   21143 autonegotiation when there is no EEPROM table
   PNIC and PNIC-II lossage when link beat is temporarily lost (two distinct
      problems)

And is't Kudzu just as annoying as its namesake...
