They use the PNIC, which is a follow-on to (or clone of) the 21140 series, and Bill Paul's driver seems to perform quite well. The EtherExpress Pro is probably the most respected card around these days. Perhaps working with DG to identify and solve your problems might be the best tack? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
