Just to recap, you've got a natsemi ethernet card which isn't
working as a module in domain 0, right?

It's possible the natsemi driver is technically buggy, and is
making assumptions it oughtn't but gets away with on plain x86.
Have you another Ethernet card you can try? Alternatively, what
happens if you compile the driver into the kernel rather than a
module?

[ I'd like to be able to ignore all bug reports on Ethernet cards
which cost less than $10 ;-) ]

This should be no problem at all.
