I am having a problem with rtai-1.3 conflicting with the tulip network
driver. The CPU is a dual PIII 700MHz with 128M RAM, the kernel is 2.2.15.
The network is fine after boot up - I can ping, rlogin, nfs and others.
As soon as I do ldmod (loading basic rtai modules) the network stops
responding. This seems to be related to SMP only, I have a CPU from the
same manufacturer with same chipsets but single processor which works
fine with rtai-1.3. I am including dmesg output below:

=============
Network is now broken.
Anybody have ideas?
I have also tried Donald Becker's latest tulip driver v0.92 with same
results. The tulip driver is compiled as a kernel module.
I can recover the network by doing:
ifconfig eth0 down
rmmod tulip
remod
insmod tulip
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
Suggestions welcome.
