The eepro100 problem (2.2.18pre17 stock) happens here too: "card reports
no resources" and then the network stalls for few minutes.

The hack suggested by David Richardson (
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=96514412914742&w=2)
did not help.

The Becker's driver from ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/eepro100.c cures
the error messages, but the network still stalls, and worse yet, seems to
stall forever (as opposed to few minutes with 2.2.18pre17 driver).

A network problem is not out of question (although the rest of the network
works just fine, and we did try another HUB port). It could also be flaky
card, but the machine and the card worked fine for years in their past
life under NT.

This is dual PPro200, 256MB, nothing fancy.
