What card are you using?
Where did you get the instructions?

Hmmm, they should have used 'mcopy a:/linux/tulip.c ...'

Wow, that's pretty bogus.
That directory was in the include path only to support the old v1.0 kernel
series.  I still get 1.2.13 bug reports, but it's been years since anyone
has run even 1.2.13, and certainly v1.0 with a PCI driver is unlikely.

You can put the source file in any directory that you choose, preferably in
something obvious such as /usr/src/drivers/

Before doing this, you should test the driver with
  /sbin/insmod ./tulip.o

Try doing
 /sbin/insmod tulip
to find the names of the unresolved symbols.
