Hello. The current tulip driver in 2.4.5 and up no longer works with my 'tulip' ethernet card. 0.9.14 (what's in prior to 2.4.5-pre6, iirc) works fine with the card, as does de4x5. Version 0.9.15-pre5 (2.4.6-pre8) and
1.1.8 (from sourceforge) both don't work. The card is:
01:15.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] (rev 22)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 96, IRQ 58
I/O ports at 0400 [size=128]
Memory at 80080000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=256K]
The error(s) are as follows, for both 0.9.15-pre5 and 1.1.8:
Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre5 (June 16, 2001)

I am seeing the same problem.
I had to plug my tulip to 10Mbps HUB yesterday, and it couldn't autosense (options=0) 10Mbps Halfduplex! It tried to use 100Mbps or something..

Also, If I try to create 100Mbps Fullduplex connection with cross-cable between two tulip-cards (2.2.19 on the other end, and 2.4.5 on the other end) it doesn't work either.
