[tulip] Tulip Problem with 2 Linksys TX100 NIC's

[hanasaki]

I am serving DHCP on the internal nic only.

The tulip version is the one that comes with Kernel 2.4.17
Linux portal 2.4.17 #1 Tue Jan 15 01:33:10 CST 2002 i586 unknown
 From tulip_core.c
-------------------
#define DRV_NAME        "tulip"
#define DRV_VERSION     "0.9.15-pre9"
#define DRV_RELDATE     "Nov 6, 2001"

How do i get the detection msg to send to you?

The tulip driver is able to get a ip from the Cable Modem service 
(RoadRunner) if
	- ifdown externalNIC AND internalNIC
	- rmmod tulip
	- ifup externalNIC

Failure:
-----------
ifdown externalnic
ifup externalnic

Failure:
-----------
ifdown externalnic
ifdown internalnic
ifup externalnic

Success:
-----------
ifdown externalnic
ifdown internalnic
rmmod tulip
ifup externalnic
