The network does not come up

reverse name lookup on DNS failed (this succeeds on the 2002-05-09 cooker
version)

Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre11 (May 11, 2002) (pre10 March 8,
2002 on the version that works)

Nor will it come up after a full install

As I said in a later email, the tulip card works on a VIA motherboard (DFI 
AD70) but fails on a SiS motherboard (K7S6A). I was concerned because I have 
a lot ot tulips in boxes I am planning to upgrade to 9.0. I have relatively 
few SiS/Tulip combinations and I quietly ordered a couple of VIA motherboards 
to replace those if I have problems.

rc1 installed on VIA/Celeron/tulip without incident.

I am content to write off the K7S6A motherboard for a variety of reaons but I 
did run 8.2 on that board for months without incident.
