bug in via-rhine network-driver (transmit timed out)

I had the same problem with the integrated nic on a soyo k7vdragon+

search google/the archives for "via-rhine timeouts"

Try the linuxfet driver found here:

I've been using it since then without problems. I had to change malloc.h or whatever it used to be to slab.h a few versions ago to make it compile without whining, but thats all.
