I previously sent a mail to the "linux-tulip" list about problems with
the tulip driver and the new DFE-500TX REV-E1 nic. That problem was
solved by upgrading to v0.91 (4/14/99). It also works with the latest
driver, "tulip.c:v0.91e 5/27/99". 

However, none of these version does work with IP-aliasing. This seems
very strange to me since I guess that the IP aliasing code does not
involve the nic driver(?).

It looks more like a routing problem then a nic-driver problem. But
everything works fine with the 3c900 nic. 

  [Dave]  It's hard to see how the low-level driver could cause this problem. I have no problem with IP aliasing with the 0.91 driver running Netgear cards on 2 Linux boxes (one serves as a firewall for the other).
