The SMC 9334BDT dual port ethernet adapter should work with the "tulip" driver
in Linux. Using the sources for Linux Kernel v2.4.3, I built a kernel which
has the tulip driver statically linked in. In this version of the driver the
MAC chips appear to be initialized but the PHY (transciever) does not get
initialized properly (it does not establish a link with a 10/100 switch which
is known good via known good cables) Below are the pertinent data from dmesg:
