Are you sure it's the tulip.o driver you want,
I'm pretty sure that's the one I need based on posts I've found by others
who are using the same card/chipset. If I could be sure it was loading and
eth0 was still not working I would assess that I need a different driver.
However, I don't believe I've been able to get the tulip driver loaded yet.
You said that autoloading failed - can you paste the *exact* error
message? What happens if you try 'modprobe tulip' by hand, as root?
Okay, I went back into menuconfig and enabled tulip family network device
support. Then I enabled the second dec... selection as a module and <*>
before each of the subheadings under this selection. Everything else in the
list of tulip family drivers is unselected. I added tulip to my
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file.
On reboot,
Loading tulip module...
Failed to load tulip...
As root, modprobe tulip:
FATAL: module tulip not found
OK... what's the output from "make modules && make modules_install"?
(when in /usr/src/linux) What does "modprobe tulip" return if you run
it *immediately* after "make modules && make modules_install" - i.e.
without rebooting first?
According to Google, your card has the same chipset as mine, so the
options I posted should work. If you're still having trouble, I can
post the relevant part of my .config.
Speaking of chipsets - what does 'lspci' (sys-apps/pciutils) say about
the card?
