Kingston KNE100TX and the tulip driver

[A James Lewis]

I found this too.... everything seems to work, ifconfig etc...  but no
traffic...

They (Kingston) are now using 21143's not 21140's and I found that the new
confing doesn't work with 0.89H which is in 2.2.6 and 2.0.36 (I tested
with 0.83 and 0.90 and 0.91 and all worked fine).

Simply look at linux/drivers/net/tulip.c and upgrade it to a later (Or
earler) version.

It doesn't run on an open source platform,
therefore it, by definition, does not matter.
