Hello Darren,

I have 2 AS4100 systems as well. One of which is running RH-7.2 for Alpha.
My first suggestion would be to goto alpha.crl.dec.com or ftp.compaq.com in
the updates directory please upgrade to the latest kernel which is
kernel-2.4.9-32.7. After you use rpm to do the update, you will need to edit
your /etc/aboot.conf file. You will need to change all the 32.5s to 32.7.
Then reboot your system.

If that does not help, then I would edit your /etc/modules.conf file and
change it to read 'alias eth0 de4x5', then reboot your system.
 
If this does not work then at
ftp://alpha.clr.dec.com/pub/linux/people/france/kernel-2.4.18 you will find
the update kernel that is currently being tested. Please do not forget to
update your aboot.conf file before rebooting.

If all else fails, then submit a bug report to
http://alpha.crl.dec.com/bugzilla/index.html. I should have time to attempt
to reporduce the problem on Monday.

Best Regards,

--George
