Problem with 3c509b and 2.2.13

Hi all,
I use a pc with 2.2.13 kernel, glibc 2.0.7 (based on Debian 2.1 distribution).
In this machine I have an IBM token ring adapter linked on an intranet and
a 3com 3c509b ethernet adapter that I use to connect my notebook at the
intranet via masquerading.
If I try to download files from the notebook the ethernet card hangs, and
the only method to make it run is to do an "ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig
eth0 up".
I tried the same thing with 2.0.36 kernel and the ethernet doesn't hang.
Is this a known bug?
Has been a kernel-patch released?

Distinti saluti/Best regards,
