I had a problem with my vga card. I needed to disable irq 9 on the vga.
I am now running an ne2000 with some success. It works, but FTP is sluggish
( 6.7 MB/s on a totally unloaded net) and NFS tends to lock up.

Your ifconfig looks good. Remember to set the default route with
route add default <default-router>
However, you should be able to ping machines on the same subnet without this
and other machine should be able to ping your interface.

I hope that someone else can be more helpful. There are other folks who
are having some succes with ethernet.
