Hi Lior,
I use this card occasionally. I have noticed that when I use the card with
a Dynanet 10BaseT hub (a cheap 8 port hub), the card sometimes goes into
100Mb mode. The leds on the hub then flash very quickly as if there is 
alot of traffic but I get the "transmit timed out" message on the
console. When your card stops working I suggest that you check the leds to
see if it is in 10Mb mode or 100Mb mode. I solve the problem by
disconnecting the cable from the card and then doing S10network 
stop/start.

Regards,
