Hello,

We are having problems with the tulip driver of cooker kernel rpms.

After installing any of the cooker RPMS (starting from
kernel-smp-2.4.4, and not fixed in 2.4.8) the network does not work
any longer. The kernel shows messages about trying to change the media
of the card, but it always tries the same media :-).

We could fix the problem by forcing the media by adding a line
options tulip options=20
to the file /etc/modules.conf

In this way the card worked somewhat, but it was not reliable. We
expienced NFS problems using a SGI IRIX machine as NFS client.

All this problems were fixed by compiling the tulip driver in kernel
2.4.3 against the current kernel.

BTW, is the bug tracking system actively monitored? This problem
was reported there, but no response was ever received.

Ramon
