Hi,
I get the same with Linksys LNE100TX, UP kernel, Cx586. I
suspect the wake-on-lan feature is the culprit, or maybe an
accomplice -- no such connector on this old mobo.
I previously have used, with success, the vendor-supplied
version of the tulip driver. It is marked:
/* Test version only: Do not distribute. */
static const char version[] = "tulip.c:v0.90f 12/17/98

Above with no driver loaded.
`diff -u tulip.c.vendor tulip.c.kernel` gives a daunting big
thing to poke through. Unfortunately, I don't yet really
understand pci+ether.
