[tulip] Most ethernets record?

[A James Lewis]

My sincere apologies.... My preblem is specifically with the version of
the tulip driver that comes with the 2.4.3/4 kernel, it MAY be with my
hardware only, however I have experienced similar problems with many 21143
based cards in the past while 21140 based cards worked..

I notice that the version number of the kernel driver is in a different
sequence to that at ftp.Scyld.com and I am unsure if I should wait for
them to be syncronised or worry about what I should do to swap one for the
other.

It was suggested on this list that I should use the 92t driver but I
checked the existing driver and as well as being in a different sequence
it states in it's documentation that it is "merged from" that 92t driver.

Perhaps you can advise me how to procede since it doesn't seem clear....
