I have 2 Thomson units, 1 running a Cachecard and the other running a turbonet haven't had the issues your experiencing.
I built the NZ Thomson image and it should have the 20050218 drivers which support the Cachecard.
You receiving the "Cachecard Driver Version1 and below that Error" screen indicates the driver is incorrect or the card is at fault.
You should have a directory located here,
/var/hack/nic_install_tivo_20050218
change to the dir and issue a ./nic_install_tivo cachecard
configure the network settings
When you reboot the tivo if you have the correct drivers, you should get this screen after the Welcome, Powering Up screen.
If you don't have a nic_install_tivo_20050218 directory, then follow these instructions to download and update the driver.
