I'm pretty sure that's the one I need based on posts I've found by others |
4 |
who are using the same card/chipset. If I could be sure it was loading and |
5 |
eth0 was still not working I would assess that I need a different driver. |
6 |
However, I don't believe I've been able to get the tulip driver loaded yet. |

Okay, I went back into menuconfig and enabled tulip family network device |
12 |
support. Then I enabled the second dec... selection as a module and <*> |
13 |
before each of the subheadings under this selection. Everything else in the |
14 |
list of tulip family drivers is unselected. I added tulip to my |
15 |
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file. |
16 |
|
17 |
On reboot, |
18 |
Loading tulip module... |
19 |
Failed to load tulip... |
20 |
|
21 |
As root, modprobe tulip: |
22 |
FATAL: module tulip not found |

Hi, |
64 |
|
65 |
I'm using the Tulip driver on one of my older boxes too. Under the |
66 |
"Tulip family" selection in menuconfig, only one of them actually |
67 |
compiles the tulip.o module - I forget the name of it (DEC something), |
68 |
but last time I built a kernel it was second in the list. For it to |
69 |
work properly, I had to enable all the options for the tulip module - |
70 |
new bus layout, interrupt mitigation, whatever other fancy things it has |
71 |
there. Are you sure it's the tulip.o driver you want, or is it some |
72 |
other driver from the tulip family? |
73 |
|
74 |
You said that autoloading failed - can you paste the *exact* error |
75 |
message? What happens if you try 'modprobe tulip' by hand, as root? |
76 |
|
