The problem seems to be generic.  It is always related to media
selection and occurs with at least 3 different NICs which are based 
on the 21040 and 21041 chips.

I have not got lspci but since the driver reports the correct IRQ and
IO-ports that should be no issue.  (I'll install lspci if necessary).

Outputs of dmesg, tulip-diag, and some other info is now at:
        <http://www.logi.cc/tulip/>
