There are at least 3 tulip drivers, in addition to old_tulip. Linksys
supplies one, one comes stock with RH distros and the other is available
at some web page or other (I've never needed it and didn't take much
interest in the discussions about it, sorry).
I'd always tried the stock and it worked. The next step would be to go to
the Linksys site and download the latest they have. The last resort would
be to go to the linux networking newsgroup (comp.os.linux.networking) and
ask about it.
