[tulip] Problem with 21041

I'm running an old SMC EtherPower card with a 21041 chip.  The last
version which works for me is 0.9.14.  If I try to use any driver after
that (incl. 1.1.8), the card does not come up.  The link light on the card
(and hub) remains off and nothing happens.  

Output from tulip-diag -aa for the working 0.9.14 driver follows:

And output from the same command under the 1.1.8 driver:

Any ideas?  I don't mind using 0.9.4 but I thought the maintainers would
want to know.  If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Thanks in advance,
