In order to have the xircom_tulip pcmcia cardbus working again with
recent kernels, it is necessary to specify:
ifconfig eth0 -multicast
Moreover if the card is configured by itself into the kernel
(i.e. with the default ne2000 pcmcia support removed),
the enclosed patch is required as well.
Cheers,

Can you try the test11-pre2 patch? It includes a bugfix to xircom_tulip
from Andrea.

?? == your country code, such as "us", "fr", etc.

I just tested test11-pre2 and there is no improvement. I still need to issue
the
ifconfig eth0 -multicast
and just after it the xircom_tulip card begins to work.

edit linux/arch/i386/kernel/traps.c. move the bust_spinlocks function,
AND the 'extern ...timer_list' line near it above the CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC
ifdef.
