More on my LinkSys card troubles. ;-) I discovered that I can recover
from the "hung" state by doing ifconfig down and then up. Also it seems
almost like it is more touchy when I'm using Netscape. Strange...

Here's a more thorough debug output from the driver
(2.2.15 and latest tulip):

eth0: Transmit timed out, status fc664010, CSR12 00000000, resetting...
eth0: interrupt csr5=0xfc67c016 new csr5=0xfc664010.
eth0: The transmitter stopped. CSR5 is fc67c016, CSR6 ff976117, new CSR6 44000.
eth0: interrupt csr5=0xfc674014 new csr5=0xfc664010.
eth0: exiting interrupt, csr5=0xfc664010.
eth0: interrupt csr5=0xfc674050 new csr5=0xfc664010.
 In tulip_rx(), entry 25 00400720.
eth0: In tulip_rx(), entry 25 00400720.
eth0: exiting interrupt, csr5=0xfc664010.
eth0: interrupt csr5=0xfc674050 new csr5=0xfc664010.
 In tulip_rx(), entry 26 00400720.
eth0: In tulip_rx(), entry 26 00400720.
