flakey ee100 eth0 connection -- local segment only?

[SuSE x86 Linux 8.2, 2.4.24 kernel, Lite-On 82c168 PNIC,
tulip 0.9.15-pre12 driver(in kernel, not module), ASUS A7M266-D mobo,
Athlon-XP 1800+ CPU]

I'm trying to upgrade from the SuSE packaged 2.4.20 kernel to
2.4.24 from kernel.org. Under the SuSE kernel all works fine. With
my new 2.4.24, I can connect(or even just ping) only to a few hosts
on my local hub, not even hosts on other hubs within my subnet.

I suspect an interrupt problem, but know very little about interrupts
in PCI architecture. I do get:

PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 03:06.0
IRQ routing conflict for 03:06.0, have irq 10, want irq 11

which sounds fishy. I'm sure I have(or can scrounge) interrupts free,
so how do I get a given board to use a given IRQ, or can I?

Some data dumps follow that I hope may be enlightening...
Help!
