there is a bug in the tulip driver version 0.76 which won't let other cards in the system be recognized. the following unofficial patch was posted on the linux-tulip-bug mailing list: --- tulip.c-076 Mon May 19 22:12:25 1997 +++ tulip.c-076aMon May 26 11:47:17 1997 @@ -496,7 +496,7 @@ #if

Greetings, It seems that SMC has changed the EtherPower 9332 a bit, and has caused us a considerable amount of grief. If you can get the older 9332DST rather than the newer 9332BDT or 9332BVT, you are better off. A couple days ago, I was configuring my machine as a gateway and put another card i

I actually did this today... I replaced my old bnc/twisted pair SMC card with a 10/100 Switchable SMC which has the 21040 DEC chipset on it (tulip driver). We are using a 100 Mbit hub and have noticed a great deal speed increase with it. It seems as if the only thing that slows me down are my scsi
