[tulip] Interesting problem with 2.2.19pre16.

I just downloaded the development tulip driver and pci-scan code...

Compiled with kgcc against the 2.2.19 headers...and was able to
insmod both modules w/out problems...  (Running RH-7, btw)

The interesting thing came when I ran a script, that just happens to
insmod the de4x5 driver...  So, before I ran it, I had eth0-4
(4 of those are 21143 (ZNYX), and one is a built-in via-rhine).
After the insmod de4x5 I have 4 new ethX (eth5,6,7,8)

I assume that I shouldn't be allowed to get into this kind
of situation...or is that true?

Thanks,
Ben
