Can you point me to such an image please?

The problem with MorphOS seems to be that it cannot receive from the 
network. It initialises the card (I'm using rtl8139 as that's what has a 
driver in MorphOS) and seems to talk to it but packets are not received or 
not handled. I believe the problem may be that the interrupt is not 
handled correctly. I base this on the following:

   Bus  0, device  14, function 0:
     Ethernet controller: PCI device 10ec:8139
       IRQ 29.
       BAR0: I/O at 0x0400 [0x04ff].
       BAR1: 32 bit memory at 0x82020000 [0x820200ff].
       BAR6: 32 bit memory at 0x82040000 [0x8207ffff].
       id ""

/pci/RTL8139
interrupts                1

But MorphOS says for all cards it finds:
"Board uses custom interrupt ID 0x0400001b"

Changing interrupts to 3 in /pci/RTL8139 does not change anything. Does 
the above make sense to anyone who could please explain how it should work 
and what could be the problem? I'll try to find out more by testing with 
other OSes but maybe someone has other ideas that might help.
