Well, the mbuf (network buffer) size was changed going from 4.0 to 4.1 and
the Fore PCA200 driver broke (patch available). My recommendation is to
give the ENI driver a try, and if it also has a problem I or someone else
can take a look at it.

You bet!

That sounds fine.

I don't have ATM on a Cisco router, but it looks ok to me...

The "en" driver is a lot simpler, since it is intended for one card
family (ENI, Adaptec, SMC), and may be more straightforward if you
only want to use a small number of PVCs. The HARP stack is really
the way to go if you want to use other cards or SVCs.
