Just a note, because it was brought up earlier: did you also load the
crc32 module (it's needed for the tulip driver). I guess you have
otherwise the tulip module wouldn't load at all...

I was meaning with the cable to the ISP disconnected :-) Just some bogus
config to see if the eth0 interface can be initialized.
Are you sure your provider doesn't expect a hostname to be sended? Mine
does and I have something like this in my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname ccxxxxx-x

Well, that's a strange message.... Are the lights on the NIC blinking?
