No, no; ifconfig says the interface is up and running with both kernel images. Obviously *a* tulip module is installed (one way or the other). Happens to be two different ones.
I compiled tulip in to 2.4.18 whereas I don't know how the prepackaged 2.2.20-idepci worked. I'd kinda like to try the driver that shipped with 2.2.20 but I don't know how to answer configuration questions to get it insted of the driver I now have compiled into 2.4.18. I don't know the driver in 2.4.18 is malfunctioning; I know only four things that seem relevant: ifconfig is happy; netstat only reports success with 2.2.20-idepci not with my compiled 2.4.18; the base addresses used by the two tulip modules are different; the configuration files the two kernel images are booting under are the same. (Of course, the configuration files ask for different things because of what they find in the /proc directories but that is a fact I don't know how to exploit in tracking down my problem.)

Googling and then looking at the tulip_core.c driver shows that the tulip driver is used with this card. Did you compile the tulip driver into your kernel? Or did you compile it as a module? If as a module did you load the tulip driver in /etc/modules? If you are using the Debian tuned kernels then everything is compiled as a module and you will need to include tulip in /etc/modules.
