[tulip] Problem: Tx hung on a StrongARM arch

[Richard Rak]

     On my Netwinder, I am using the "Old Tulip" driver from 2.2.17 
(version 0.90 10/20/98).  Also, I had to download the tulip_upgd_2.2.o 
(exact name?) from ftp.netwinder.org.  After this, I had no problems.  
Using the new Tulip driver, I get getting hardware errors.

   Hope this helps....
