The first thing I would do is try commenting out the options line for the
tulip driver. You almost never need to give the IRQ and I/O port for a
PCI card. The card may or may not use the same I/O and IRQ as it does in
Windows. Letting the driver find the I/O and IRQ works fine in almost all
cases.
If this fails, try using the old_tulip driver instead of the tulip
driver. But I think the tulip driver is probably the correct one for this
card. I an not up to date on what chip Linksys is using on what card, so
it is possible that you will need an updated driver if they have changed
things again.
