I just got a Kingston KNE100TX 10/100 PCI fast ethernet which doesn't
seem to work under FreeBSD 2.1.5.

It seemed to be highly recommended on other OS's, and was based
on the DEC 21140, which has a driver for FreeBSD.

It works fine where it is on win95 and NT4.0, but under freebsd 2.1.5,
it is detected in the configuration, but doesn't seem to generate interrupts.
(At least that's what I assume the transmit timeout error is).

I tried downloading the driver from FreeBSD 2.1.7, and installing that, but
that doesn't seem to help.  

Any clues?
