I'm running a later revision of that same NIC with no problems:
lspci:

Internal config register is 1800000, transceivers 0xa.
8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.
MII transceiver found at address 24, status 782d.
Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.

I'm runnning 2.4.21pre4-ac4. Looking at your dmesg output, it appears that your card
isn't being initialized correctly (e.g: the date field is bugus). I also noticed that my
NIC driver is a later revision than yours ( LK1.1.18-ac vs. LK1.1.16 )
Could you try booting 2.4.21pre4-ac4 and see if you have the same problem.
I'm assuming that you don't have any interrupt conflicts.
