What version of modutils are you using?
I have modutils 2.3.13 and it finds the dependency fine.

add a pre-install command like:

pre-install tulip insmod pci-scan

this will force the loading of pci-scan
when tulip is loaded. It may complain
if pci-scan is already loaded.

I recommend upgrading modutils.
