My genuine digital network interface card ceased to work with the tulip
driver contained in kernel revisions >= 2.4.4 and the development driver from
sourceforge.net.
It seems that the driver incorrectly configures the card for full duplex mode
and I could not figure out how to override this with the new MODULE_PARM
macro.
I am now using the stable driver 0.9.14 from sourceforge.net which works fine.
Further information available by request!

I am afraid of post these days. However, I must comment that I too am having
trouble with the tulip driver, on several SMC nic's that use the DEC
chipset. I tried mii_tool, with no success.
I have just been copying the tulip driver from 2.4.4 forward... because I
don't have enough time to try and create an intelligent error report.
thanks,
joshua

Thanks for the report!
Currently there are problems with 21041 old chipsets, which include SMC
and several other cards. You can use 0.9.14 from
http://sf.net/projects/tulip/ until I get around to fixing it.

Hm, I reported few times problems with DS21143 Tulip rev 65, which is
not exactly old, and with anything above tulip-0.9.14, and did not get
back even a half line acknowledment not mentioning annoucements of fixes.
I also posted mii-diag output from a card in working and not working
state.
I have to admit, though, that I did not test that really recently.
RSN...

How is the sourceforge driver different than the one at http://www.scyld.com?

They are totally different, though they have a common origin.
