0.91e & Kingston KNE110TX

I'm back for another round. The Kingston KNE110TX that PacBell is
shipping out with new DSL installations is still not working for me
with tulip.c 0.91e on kernel 2.2.9. A 3c509 used in its place works
just fine. The other end of this link is an Alcatel ADSL modem running
half-duplex 10Mbps.
As pointed out to me in private mail, I've mentioned this several times
and yet this card never seems to get any attention when new drivers are
released. Is this card known to be junk and won't be supported?
Kingston claims that it's supported under Linux and links to the Tulip page.
If I let the driver figure everything out (no parameters passed to
module except debug), it seems to incorrectly detect the link speed as 100Mbps:
