Tulip 0.9.15-pre3 - still no dice

[Michal Jaegermann]

A tulip driver 0.9.15-pre3, as included in 2.4.5-ac8, still does not
work for me and I have to replace it with 0.9.14d (April 3, 2001) to
get a functional network.

Trying it with 'tulip_debug=3' option I see this:

Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre3 (June 1, 2001)

.....
(and a loop with at "Autonegotiation failed" until 'ifdown eth0')
.....
eth0: Shutting down ethercard, status was f0000102.

There was a variation once. A status changed to this:

eth0: Restarting 21143 autonegotiation, csr14=0003ffff.
eth0: 21143 link status interrupt 000052ca, CSR5 f0008010, fffbffff.
eth0: Autonegotiation failed, using 10baseT, link beat status 52ca.

but it went back to the same loop:

This is, for a comparison, the same level of debug with 0.9.14d working 
driver.  Note different values for CSR0 and CSR5 on tulip_open().

Here is an output of tulip-diag, as much as I can get, in a non-working
state:

And here are differences with a similar thing but working
