[tulip] Compiling in the tulip driver

[David Shochat]

That's a novel approach and maybe there's a way to make it work. But if 
you just want to get things working, here is how I did it:
1. With the kernel built and running normally (using only drivers that 
came with it), copy those 4 files into some random directory.
2. compile them using the compile commands that you will find in the .c 
source files.
3. (as root) Copy pci-scan.o and tulip.o into /lib/modules/`uname 
-r`/net [you may want to rename the tulip.o that may have been built 
with your kernel first if you don't want to clobber it, but that tulip.o 
has never worked for me]
4. depmod -a
5. modprobe tulip
6. If all goes well you can try bringing up the interface.
7. And put alias eth<n> tulip in /etc/modules.conf for automation.
