Dear all,

can some kind soul please explain me how to set some of the options (e.g. media
type) with a compiled-in tulip driver?
I know this should work with "ether=0,0,media,.." because (as most drivers) the
media type is set via dev->mem_start. Only it does not work. I tried to find
out where the mem_start value is set in the kernel-source, starting from
alloc_etherdev up to its usage in the driver, but cannot see it. Effectively I
printk'ed it, and it is always zero.
Can someone please have a quick look if this does work at all, anywhere, anyhow
...
This is kernel 2.4.20-rc1, the whole issue is around lines 1650 in
drivers/net/tulip/tulip_core.c
