2.4.6-pre4 tulip driver still mashed with 21041

[J Brook]

I have been following the development of the tulip driver with some
interest because my hardware requires it! I have described the
hardware setup I use before, but I can post it again if necessary.

I will only be able to test new versions/fixes until Tuesday morning
(UK) because then I lose my ethernet connection and will not get it
back again :-(

The tests below were done with a freshly compiled 2.4.6-pre4 kernel
with no additional patches of any kind. The last kernel that worked
for me straight out of the tarball was 2.4.4-ac6

The symptoms are that with anything above 2.4.4-ac6 nothing gets
through to or from the network to my box.

The results I get from running "tulip-diag -aa -ee" having run
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start" (RH 7.1) are:

Index #1: Found a Digital DC21041 Tulip adapter at 0xd800.
 * A potential Tulip chip has been found, but it appears to be
active.
 * Either shutdown the network, or use the '-f' flag to see all
values.

When I set "network stop", the results are:
