Difficult subject... newer tulip drivers don't work with older cards.
There's been lots of discussion about the subject on linux-kernel, thus
far without any satisfactory resolution as far as I can tell. It seems
that everytime the driver tries to get updated (Alan's put it in a
pre-patch or an ac patch a few times), there tends to be lots of cries
of breakage.
