Hey
I have bought an SMC 1255TX-card.
In the manual is said that I should use the Tulip-driver.
I was able to load the module tulip.o from kernel 2.4.19-pre10, but when I
start my network (/etc/init.d/networking start) on my debian-machine, the
screen starts flashing the message:
Eth0: (i) System Error occured (0)
with i = number increasing by 1
I didn't see any of this in the changelog up to rc3..
Greetings
Michael

It looked like it was sharing IRQ with another piece of hardware, when I
remove all other hardware, the card runs just fine.
The insmod-msg I recieved with shared IRQ:
...
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:14.0
PCI Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:13.0
eth0: SMC EZ Card 10/100 rev 17 at 0xc800, 00:04:E2:3D:AB:52, IRQ 5.
