[tulip] Test verson of tulip.c for Conexant chip (Compaq Presario) v0.92w

[Hunt Kent]

Donald,

	I gave a shot using 2.2.19 on a Debian 2.3 system.
Apparently it is working. dmesg gives:

tulip.c:v0.92w 7/9/2001  Written by Donald Becker

    The PCI BIOS has not enabled the device at 0/72! 
Updating PCI command
0003->0007.
eth0: Conexant LANfinity rev 8 at 0xd005c000,
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, IRQ 9.

I replaced my MAC address. ifconfig gives:

          inet addr:yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

I followed similar instructions for another succesful
result posted in this list today. (put tulip.c
pci-scan.c pci-scan.h kernel_compat.h in drivers/net
and modified drivers/net/Makefile)

After compiling the kernel and rebooting, did 
modprobe pci-scan, modprobe tulip and it was ready for

ifconfig configuration. 

The difference that I'm seeing with the other post is
that I have my TX packets reported correctly (he had 0
in TX packets and all errors) and so far no errors.
I'm also sending this message using your new driver! 

Thanks for the driver. Off topic, did you also get
the specs for this chip so that we can pass it to
someone working on the modem driver to play with?
