    FWIW, I solved my problem with this card by moving it to another
    PCI slot. The symptoms I experienced were that I could ping
    other hosts and other hosts could ping 'this' host, but stream
    socket connections (UDP not tested) would not work. Also the
    tulip_diag program reported that it could not read the EEPROM.

    This is on another Abit board: KT7.

    How does one go about determining what PCI slot to use? It
    seems like trial and error could get to be a *real* PITA when
    several cards are involved.
