so you really have a de2104x card. and your problems differ from mine,
as i never got any Oopses.

did you try Jeff Garzik's fixes for this driver?

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=106950312306991&w=2

they were for some -test9-bk tree, but neither the -test10 nor the
-test11 ChangeLog says something about the fixes, so i think they are
still pending.
