funky dec card behavior

[Edward Monson]

I have a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card and a 100baseT only hub. 
The tulip driver was reccommened and works perfectly, but when I run
ifconfig to set up the eth0 device the card wiggs out. The light on my hub
shuts off for three seconds and turns on for three seconds. This repetes
forever. After setting up the routing I can't connect to my other machines.
I can talk to my loopback device but nothing else. The card works fine
under win95. A friend said that ifconfig was trying to reset the card or
something and it would fail so ifconfig would just keep trying. The same
behavior was experienced on my 10baseT hub. The cards seem to auto detect
the hub speed wih out any problem. I know this isn't exactly a tulip
problem, but the newsgroup people were of no help.
