That's the 10MBit/s variant, isn't it?
If so, that's a known problem ( I see the same on my beige G3 ), it's
been broken for a long time and nobody seems to have the right
combination of time, documentation and hardware to fix it.

yes, it is the 10MBit/s variant. That's too bad. I was really hoping
someone would fix it. I thought I breathed in some new life to the old
Wallstreet.

... does anyone have the documentation? That's usually the hardest
part.

Good question, the driver was written by tsubai@ who went AWOL long
before I joined. Funny thing is, the 100MBit variant seems to work,
which should at least help figuring out which part of the code to look
at. If nothing else there's a Linux driver, can't hurt to check what
they do differently.
