Problems NIC and HP server

Hello,

having problems with HP rx4610 server and the built-in NIC, lspci
reports it as:
Intel Corporation 82557 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 08)

Using the eepro100.o module and the 2.4.4 SMP Kernel that came with
SuSE 7.2/ia64, the network isn't working at all, until I switch the
NIC to promiscuous mode, then a few packets will work in both
directions and tcpdump crashes with SEGMENTATION fault.

mii-tool reports the link would be fine, even if I needed to force the
speed settings, which were 100HD, but the router (cisco catalyst) is
set to 100FD, but it doesn't change the above behavior. I'll compile
2.4.17 and perhaps apply the ia64 patches from kernel.org soon or has
someone other suggestions/expirience, he would like to share?

Thx for your time

Michael Heiming
