This is a Realtek RTL8138 chip, not a Tulip.
You'll need to run the rtl8139 driver.  See
  http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html

Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
# The CardBus version of the RealTek rtl8139b.
device "realtek" class "network"
    module "cb_enabler", "pci-scan", "cb_shim", "rtl8139"
card "Compex LinkPort/TX32A"           manfid 0x018a, 0x0106  bind "realtek"
