I have a CNET Pro120 Fast Ethernet 100BaseTX/10BaseT adapter.

please help!  No dice with 0.90z.  Based on the response from tulip-diag
below, do you think that this card is a no-go? No, I don't have a bus
mouse.  Yes, IRQ 12 is available. Yes, this card is awesome when I boot
to windows95.

One more thing.  /proc/pci shows the following for this card:

Bus 0, device 10, function 0:
     Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor MX98715 / MX98725 (rev 32).
     Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 12. Master Capable.
     Latency=32. Min Gnt=8. Max Lat=56.
     I/O at 0xe400
     Non-prefetchabel 32 bit memory at 0xfbfdf000.

Loading tulip.o responds in /var/log/messages:

0xe400, 00:80:AD:97:F6:AD, IRQ 12.

Seems OK.  I get a link light on my HUB.

Running ifconfig responds on console:

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Try again

Running ifconfig responds in /var/log/messages:

Here is some output from tulip-diag:
