Data point:

I have a server and firewall using 2.4.19-pre2-ac4 with Linksys LNE100TX nic's

firewall is 6x86 on Intel 430VX uptime 146 days
server is PII on Intel 440BX uptime 83 days

both report the nic as:
Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev 11)

both autonegotiate 100 full duplex with a Seimens 5 port 10/100 switch

Maybe Linksys used different chipsets in their LNE100TX, or some change
since 2.4.19-pre2-ac4 is a problem

This matches my /proc/ioports entry for tulip

If you want any more info, just ask...
