The Tulip driver has always been an awful one to deal with, in that there 
are so many different (and sometimes very different) chips using that 
name.  The 2.2 kernel started with one driver and then moved to two (I 
think it stayed there), and the 2.4 had at one point moved from there to a 
unified driver and then back to two separate ones (de4x5 and old_tulip, or 
some such thing).  If neither driver work, the updated version from the 
web page given previously might, though at that point I'd probably switch 
cards (and have in the past).
