I can offer a couple of data points. I have tulip source files as
follows:
kern_compat.h:
$Revision: 1.5 $ $Date: 2000/07/05 16:23:25 $
pci-scan.h:
version 1.00 $Version$ $Date: 2000/04/08 05:04:26 $
pci-scan.c:
"pci-scan.c:v1.00 4/15/2000 Donald Becker <becker@scyld.com>"
tulip.c:
"tulip.c:v0.92 4/17/2000 Written by Donald Becker
<becker@scyld.com>\n";
These are simply the versions that were on the scyld ftp site when I
went looking for them. Using these, the code compiled without error
under a RedHat 6.2 system with original 2.2.14-5 kernel and also on one
with the kernel upgraded to 2.2.16-3 (compiled kernel and source all
obtained from RedHat rpm's).
I have two Linksys EtherFast 10/100 model LNE100TX version 4.0 cards,
one in each of the above machines and they are working fine with this
tulip driver. They would not work at all with the tulip.o that came with
those 2 kernels.
