The existing tulip.o would not work and I had to compile and build the module from source. Damn, all of my mail for the build of the driver is on the real part of this computer that just happens to be on the other side of the dual-boot. Anyway, the latest tulip.c, etc.. can be be found at scyld.com. The specific URL is: http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html. This will give you some very good information on how to get your tulip card up and running. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. ASEL -- Instrument Nacogdoches, Texas N31 34.7 W094 42.6 355 MSL
