Driver for DEC 21142/3 linux kernel 2.0.34?

Donald,

OK, I managed to compile tulip.c with no unresovled references, and tried
three different versions with pretty much the same results.  The device
busy error went away, but none of the different versions with the likely
options worked.  Likely options were determined by the fact that our hubs
only support half-duplex 10Mb, so the options tried were 0,4,9,11,12 and
(once) 10.

The IO ports looked OK, eth0 showed up as and where expected.

FYI, I contacted a couple of authors of messages found in the archives
who had similar problems with similar hardware, and neither had ever
solved their problems.  They got other vendor's cards that worked right away.

This is a government computer, so that's not really an option here.  It's
either this or nothing.

Anyway, some of the various outputs are included below.  Hope they can give
you a clue what's missing.

Regards,
Michael

being a programmer any more.  A full tulip-diag listing is at the end.]
