I picked up the tulip-0.92wax.tar.gz driver package yesterday and tried to use
it with my SMC dual port 10/100 ethernet card (DEC PCI-PCI bridge with two DEC
21140 MAC chips) How do I install Becker's tulip driver in place of the
normal Linux one? (Linux kernel 2.4.3) I assume from what I've read I do
this:
1) Build Linux kernel without DEC generic or Linux tulip driver.
2) Reboot
3) Build Becker's Tulip Driver.
4) insmod pci-scan.o
5) insmod tulip.o
6) done?
I tried doing most of this yesterday, but when I insmod'd the tulip driver it
dumped all kinds of crap and got stuck in Initializing (according to lsmod).
I think I still had another driver that was trying to attach to the SMC card
that was screwing up the tulip module. Does this make sense?
