Tulip network card not connecting in 7.3?

[David Kramer]

NB: since I don't have 'net these messages are from memory.  This is an 
old box with known-working hardware, reformatted and dual-boot win98SE and 
Red Hat 7.3.

In short, ifconfig looks good, tulip module is loaded (card is DEC 21041),
route looks good, ipchains is opened wide up, and when I boot the computer
into Windows (shudder), it works.

ping/telnet/host, etc say "Destination host unreachable".  I tried pinging 
my gateway by IP and got the same thing.

The kicker is this- I noticed that the light for that channel on my hub is 
not on under Linux, but it is on under Windows.  Note that the light on 
the back of the card is on under either OS!!

dmesg says (again, from scribbles, not cut/paste):
tulip0: 21041 media table, default media 0000 (10baseT)
tulip0:  21041 media #0, 10baseT
tulip0:  21041 media #4, 10baseT-FDX
eth0: Digital DC21041 tulip rev 17 at <foo>, 21041 mode, X:X:X:X:X:X, IRQ 
9.

So my primary suspition is that the problem is the media type, but there's 
only one connector.  I assume the second one is full duplex, but that 
won't work since I'm going into a hub which goes to the intranet card on 
my firewall box.  The firewall box is a Red Hat 7.0 box that I am 
building this box to replace.  This box will be my new firewall when it's 
working (I'll re-tweak the network settings).

Any thoughts?  Anything I can try?
