It seems that some devices work with the dmfe module while others work with tulip, but yet they both use the same PCI ID. I really don't know what to do in this case. What architecture are you using? Is this i386? If yes I suspect this is another argument to implement architecture specific device lists. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
