i have two tulip cards in my system. a dec 21041 and a d-link 21140.
the latter works with either driver. the former has trouble with the
new driver. falling back to old_tulip makes things happy.
here is a section of my boot logs using the 0.91g driver. somehow,
the driver starts thinking that the 21041 is a 21143.

^^^^^
why does 0.91g suddenly think i
have a 21143? the old_tulip
0.89H doesn't think so.
some extra info ripped from /proc/pci

i have run the tulip-diag program and gotten this

tulip-diag.c:v1.19 10/2/99 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Index #1: Found a Digital DC21041 Tulip adapter at 0xe800.
Port selection is full-duplex.
Transmit stopped, Receive stopped, full-duplex.
The Rx process state is 'Stopped'.
The Tx process state is 'Stopped'.
The transmit unit is set to store-and-forward.
The NWay status register is 000001c8.
Internal autonegotiation state is 'Autonegotiation disabled'.
Index #2: Found a Digital DS21140 Tulip adapter at 0xe880.
Port selection is MII, half-duplex.
Transmit stopped, Receive stopped, half-duplex.
The Rx process state is 'Stopped'.

The transmit threshold is 128.
Use '-a' or '-aa' to show device registers,
'-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,
or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.
i am happy to tinker with the driver or supply additional information
upon request. i am not sure how to proceed. please advise.
