89K freezes System under 2.1.122

[Jamie Flournoy]

Yes I have the same problem (and the same laptop, almost). I followed
Tom's nice instructions and the tulip module installs, but when you try
to configure eth0 with an address etc. the machine hangs and has to be
power cycled (ouch!!).

The kernel is 2.1.122, tulip 0.89K, the hardware is a Hitachi VisionBook
Pro 7755 (which I am pretty sure has the exact same guts as Tom's 7580).

Does this mean that the older kernels work, and 2.1.122 broke something?
I would be happy to use an older kernel if needed... all I want is not
to have to use NT! :)
