You might try searching the tulip archives on the link that Peter gave.
Which model of network card are you using.
Also that website talks about needing more that just the .c file (for PCI
detection apparently). And there is a diagnostic program there as well.
This weekend I'll be loading a mdk7.1 with tulip drivers for my Linksys
cards. I just found out (via that webpage) that the linksys boards don't
use DEC Tulip chips; they have Lite-On PNIC chips which just happen to be
similar enough that the tulip.o driver only needed minor mods to work.
