Hi all,

Should the tulip driver compile/run on 2.4 kernels?

Compilation with 2.4.1 :

tulip.c: In function `tulip_open':
tulip.c:1488: structure has no member named `tbusy'
tulip.c:1489: structure has no member named `start'
tulip.c: In function `tulip_start_xmit':
tulip.c:2607: structure has no member named `tbusy'
tulip.c:2640: structure has no member named `tbusy'
tulip.c: In function `tulip_interrupt':
tulip.c:2659: structure has no member named `interrupt'
tulip.c:2663: structure has no member named `interrupt'
tulip.c:2744: structure has no member named `tbusy'
tulip.c:2748: structure has no member named `tbusy'
tulip.c:2749: `NET_BH' undeclared (first use in this function)
tulip.c:2749: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
tulip.c:2749: for each function it appears in.)
tulip.c:2845: structure has no member named `interrupt'
tulip.c: In function `tulip_close':
tulip.c:2991: structure has no member named `start'
tulip.c:2992: structure has no member named `tbusy'
tulip.c: In function `tulip_get_stats':
tulip.c:3031: structure has no member named `start'
tulip.c: In function `set_rx_mode':
tulip.c:3303: structure has no member named `tbusy'


I would use the native 2.4.1 tulip driver included with the kernel. but:
i get a bunch of these:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status fc664010, CSR12 00000000, resetting...

so I prefer the high performance one's here better :-)
