Which Gigiabit NIC with kernel 2.4.29?

I have tried 3 different Intel Pro 1000 MT NICs in 5 different slots,
using 3 different copper cables, plugged into 2 different ports on the
Netgear gigabit switch, and the e1000 module from kernel 2.4.29 - and
each combination (4 hours worth!) looks fine in Slackware 10.0 when
running
ifconfig
and
route -n
and the "CONTROL S" message always displays during boot
BUT
A) the gigabit switch to which the NIC connects shows no connection
(and no activity)
B) ping 192.168.1.48 (known OK) from this 192.168.1.1 box fails
C) ping 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.1.1 works.
Replacing the NIC with "any" 100 Mb NIC (SMC/Realtek/Intel/3Com)
works. Shame to say, what's in there now is a RealTek 8139too Piece
Of S&#$.
Can anyone suggest a NIC that _works_ at gig speed, please? Or
parameters to pass to 'modprobe e1000'? Or source to plug into the
kernel source tree that, when compiled actually connects this Intel
mutherfscker?! Any 2.4 kernel version >= 2.4.29 is OK with me if it
fixes the problem, but I wish to avoid 2.6 kernel versions.
If it matters, the MoBo is an Asus KT7A-RAID with an Athlon 1Ghz, 128
Mb RAM and 3 HDs connected to the HPT "controller" (but not using the
stupid HPT RAID). I don't recall what video card is in there but it
is AGP. All interrupts and DMA settings are AUTO in CMOS.
TIA,
buck
