Unfortunately (?) there are lots of "Winbond" ne2000 clones, ranging from a simple/early 8390 clone to recent DP83905 software configurable clones (and now even PCI clones!)

Well, without any kernel messages of any sort, pointing your finger at the ne2000 card and jumping up and down may not be 100% justified.

The RZ1000 chips are known to be buggy, and you can get into trouble with them if you aren't careful (see "man hdparm").
