Hmm.  I think I may have made an error in my post; I stated I tried to
build tulip.c (v0.92w 7/9/2001) with kernel 2.4.6 when in fact it was
probably 2.4.5 (was a long night that night).

tulip.c v0.92w, with kern_compat.h $Revision: 1.8 $ $Date: 2001/05/18
22:51:18 $, does not build on my box with kernel 2.4.6:

tulip.c: In function `private_ioctl':
tulip.c:3112: `SIOCSPARAMS' undeclared (first use in this function)

I'm currently using the kernel-distributed tulip.c.  Perhaps this is
causing an issue?  Or was something changed from 2.4.5 to 2.4.6 that
breaks the tulip compile?

:/
