On my 7.0 box in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net I have both:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91540 Jan 4 2000 old_tulip.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 110403 May 3 2000 tulip.c
and corresponding modules in /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33548 Aug 22 2000 old_tulip.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41044 Aug 22 2000 tulip.o
If you have old_tulip.c (in the source directory) but don't have
old_tulip.o (in the modules directory) then either (a) you didn't select
the correct module during compile or (b) for some reason the module isn't
compiling properly. You said the kernel works fine except for the network
so I'm guessing (a).
I usually use menuconfig to create the config file for compiling, and under
Ethernet (10 or 100MBit) --> Other ISA cards I see two tulip drivers:
<M> DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support
<M> Old DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support
I'm guessing you missed the second one.
