Ok, that's certainly not your problem. The i8255x is a very nice chipset.
Did testing with FTP generate any interesting results?

As usual, "it depends."
If you're using a modularized driver, you pass in an option flag when
loading the module with insmod. I assume there's some way to specify this
in /etc/modules.conf or whatever your distribution uses; sorry I can't be
of more help but I despise Linux kernel modules and only use monolithic
kernels.
On the other hand, if the driver is compiled into your kernel, you pass
the option flag as a kernel boot argument.
More information can be found at:

In short, if you're using version 1.15+ of the eepro100 driver, you
probably want "options=0x200" when loading the module.
If anybody else knows an easier way to do this, please speak up! I'm
taking this from memory and a little bit of research.
BSD-derived operating systems use ifconfig flags to handle this, which
makes a lot more sense.
