This appears to be PCI NE2000 according to the IDs. So your choice of
RTL8029 is correct, the other choices are wrong. What might be happening
is that your link speed is stuck at 10Mb after bootup. Have you looked
to see there is a utility to alter the link speed or force an
autonegotiation after Linux has booted? Any options on the ne2k-pci
driver? Or maybe Donald Becker's software tools has one. mii-tools
maybe? I don't know if the 8029 has a MII.
