    I have the same problem with a Netgear FA310TX card (Lite-On PNIC based)
    with an ASUS TX97-E motherboard (430TX chipset).

    My eventual solution was to go and get a new $15 10/100 card at Fry's.
    The new card works great. SMC EZNET-10/100.

    BTW, the computer I'm writing this email from now, also uses a FA310TX
    card and works great. It has an ASUS P3B mainboard (440BX chipset).
