Hmmm, "connection refused" likely means that the network connection is
working properly.  The other end just responded with "no" instead of
what you wanted to hear.

This looks like a routing problem, not a device driver problem.

Good.  What about the Tx count?  Note the errata: the Conexant chip
incorrectly reports carrier errors when set to full duplex mode.  The
chip sends the packet properly, it just always reports a lost carrier.
