I'm really trying to follow your instructions.  I've compiled to your instructions and also believe that 'tulip' is profiled as usable as a module.  How would I confirm 'tulip' is usable by the kernel as a module?

I did 'depmod -a' and a number of network modules had unresolved symbols.
I insmod'd pci-scan and lsmod shows it as available.
Then I insmod'd tulip and got the following detail...

/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol init_etherdev_R4468631d
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_R6e012c3d
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol __kfree_skb_R461d1b3d
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol netif_rx_R82bc91e7
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol dev_close_R2b99a8df
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic_Rb602a3db
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol eth_copy_and_sum_R52fcc224
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_Rd4215602
/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev_R27198b1f
Using /lib/modules/2.2.16-3/net/tulip.o

I've moved any references to any (old-)tulip.o files in /lib/modules/... out of the way to ensure that only one tulip.o is in play (I think).

Sorry for reposting this detail from a prior note.
HELP, please.
