John,
Thanks for responding to my email. You mentioned that you have trouble
when
the driver is loaded as a module (rather than compiled into the kernel).
We have
Red Hat 6.0 and Caldera's OpenLinux 2.2. I believe the Tulip driver is a
module
for both of these systems. Maybe that's where the problem lies.
Do you know how to go about compiling it into the kernel?
Tom
