I booted a Gentoo 2008.0 i686 LiveCD with params:
Code:
gentoo acpi=off ide=nodma noapic nodetect nodhcp nodmraid nofirewire nohotplug nolapic nosata


I typed the following, so not all information is available, but I believe it is enough to show the problem
Code:
# uname -a

Why am I losing connection?

          RX bytes:23862  (23.3 Kb)  TX bytes:19536 (19.0 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x4c00

Prior to this most recent information, booting the Gentoo 2008.0 LiveCD normally (e.g. "gentoo" default boot parameter only) I noticed dmesg becomes flooded with
Code:
tulip_stop_rxtx() failed (CSR5 0xfc740000 CSR6 0x2042202)

are you sure that physically everything is okay?
i mean, the NIC itself, the CAT5 cable, the switch port.

I am sure everything is okay. I forgot to mention here that prior to booting the 2008.0 LiveCD, I used a 2007.0 Gentoo LiveCD and didn't have any issues with the NIC.
