In 8390.h you should increase ei_debug from one to 4. Also add a
#define VERBOSE_ERROR_DUMP
which will give you detailed information as to how your packet
transmission failed. That plus the driver detection messages might
help me and others shed some more light on the issue.
If you can manage a temporary alternative to NFS root you can also
make use of ne2k-pci-diag.c (Diagnostics/EEPROM setup for PCI NE2000).
