I'd guess this isn't in the docs as it's probably considered 'general'
knowledge and thus not LEAF-specific.  When you insmod the driver it is
possible to pass specific options to the card, for example duplexity and
such.  In your case those options are confusingly different for each version
of the tulip driver.  I know of 3 different drivers for kernel 2.4 right now
: Donald Becker (http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html), the built-in
kernel (apparently from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tulip/, but the
version is newer), and Jamal Hadi from Zynx who works on NAPI & Tulip in
general (http://www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/patches/).

I don't know which tulip driver is best, but I'd try the latest built-in
kernel version before the other two.  Most of the media types & options to
pass should be listed in /drivers/net/tulip/tulip_core.c.  FYI Donald
Becker's page seems a lot more clear and lists the media types on the URL
given, so try that one if you have problems with duplexity or speed
negotiation.

Hope that helps

Peter
