Hi folks,
Does anyone know why a Linux ethernet driver might appear to be up &
working (that is, no errors, ifconfig says UP, etc), and the board has a
link light on it, but the hub link light is not on and no packets are
transmitted or received? rmmod/insmod of the driver doesn't help.
I have an ne2k/ISA Atlantic card that is doing this in either wd or ne mode
with a 2.2.14 kernel, and can't get it running... help!

Plug the cable into the hub before powering up the chip ? I have at least one
crap ne2k clone that only does the detect at boot
