I have IBM Power Personal Series 830 and ISA NE2000 compatible board
(which btw works great on x86 Linux). So I compiled 2.2.6 kernel with
ne2000 support but the board doesn't work. ifconfig shows TX=x errors=0
but RX=0 errors=y

This might not solve your problem; but do you have an up-to-date
ifconfig? I once had erroneous stats on ionterfaces, caused by an old
version of ifconfig interpreting some values the wrong way.

My ifconfig is from the 'net-tools-1.32.alpha-2B' RPM (don't remember
where I got that).

Yes I have net-tools-1.52 
BTW once I had precompiled kernel (2.0.32 I guess) which worked fine with
that ISA Ne2000 board .. It came with PPC Redhat 4 install (FD_BOOT image)
Maybe ne2000 driver had some patches applied to it? Now with 2.2.x damn
adapter doesn't work...
