[tulip] Netgear FA310TX rev D2 NIC

I'm new to Linux.  Can't find any messages with my problem

I have a Netgear FA310TX rev D2 ethernet board with LC82C169C chip (not
LC82C168c).  Netgear says
board is based on DEC 21040 (tulip).  Also have an ISA NE2000 card in
same machine.  Running Mandrake 7.1  ISA board sets up fine with cable
modem.  Switch cable to Netgear PCI board and change configuration to
DHCP for it and Linux looks at it for 60 seconds (Bringing up eth0) then
says OK.  But it didn't DHCP an address. And won't ping except
127.0.0.1.

Mandrake has tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc  7/16/99.  Netgear says to get the
latest tulipdriver - 0.90Q.  I assume 0.91G should be OK, but it doesn't
work on this card or another in another machine.  They won't ping others
or each other.  Is there a revised driver?

Have part of dmesg, proc pci and ifconfig below.

Would appreciate any help.  Have been struggling with this for weeks.
