tulip driver problem

["Albert D. Cahalan" <acahalan@cs.uml.edu>]

The tulip driver in 2.4.8-pre3 does not work.
The tulip driver version 0.9.14 from sourceforge does not work.
The tulip driver in 2.2.14 is OK.
The de4x5 driver does not work.
I think I had the driver in 2.4.3 working at one point.

The error I'm getting from the 0.9.14 driver:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

This is the Force PowerCore 6750 single-board computer with
a PowerPC processor and the DEC 21143 Ethernet chip.

Booting 2.2.14 shows:

The firmware (which likes the Ethernet just fine) reports the
host bridge and Ethernet as:
