I upgraded to kernel 2.2.1 - which works a lot better (at least for me)
in several ways. Since doing so, I haven't had a reason to return
to 2.0.36, so I don't really know if the newest tulip driver will work
there. However, the newest driver does seem to work under 2.2.1 with
the Linksys card.

As per some prior messages on this list, 00:80:00:80:00:80 is caused by
the EEPROM_SIZE pre-processor macro being set to "6" instead of "8".
I can only assume that either you forgot the "-DCARDBUS" option when
compiling,
or you noticed the error regarding the dereferenced NULL kernel pointer,
and you erased the offending preprocessor ifdef macros - only you kept the
"6" part instead of the "8" part you need. See my prior message regarding
this.
Also note - until this is fixed, and the driver is getting the correct
MAC address, this driver will NEVER work correctly. So, this MUST be fixed
first!

After today's release, I have mine set to option 11 - which should be the
default, and it worked just fine on 10BT, plugged into a hub which is not
n-way auto-negotiating.
I hope these comments help.
