vr0 up, but doesn't pass data

I have 5.3-RELEASE with a GENERIC kernel running on a new (old) Mach 
Speed V600DAP motherboard which uses the VIA KT600 Northbridge and VIA 
VT8237 Southbridge chipsets.  It has an onboard NIC which is detected as 
vr0.  It appears to ifconfig to be working, but doesn't seem to pass any 
data.  No DHCP, ping, nslookup etc.

I haven't been able to find anything like this on google or searching 
past postings.  I'm beginning to wonder if it's just not supposed to 
work.  As I was typing this I realized I didn't have 5.4 loaded on this 
machine, so I'll try that tomorrow.  If anyone has run across this 
problem with this motherboard or chipsets I would appreciate any 
pointers you could give.

Thanks,
Joe.

--------------

The ifconfig shows it up and active, which is corroborated by the 
associated lights on the switch and the NIC.  If you unplug the wire the 
status changes to inactive just like you would expect it to.

I've tried swapping out cables, switches and using different ports.  I'm 
convinced that none of those are contributing to the problem.  If the 
full dmesg or kernel config would help they are attached.
