SUMMARY: networking interface problems.

Hello,

The controller was actually a DE-602-AA controller.
I wasn't able to get the card working, although is did receive packets even
when set to autonegotiate, the controller adopted the correct speed.

After all, it seemed the cause was faulty hardware. After replacing the NIC,
the new controller instantly worked fine.

Thanks for your responses anyway.

Regards,
Alex
