I see the tulip has several options and the de4x5=20 > seems to be a rather generic driver. The de4x5 driver supports some older revisions of the tulip chipset which aren't supported by the tulip driver. I guess it could be made to support those, too, but nobody did that up to now. You can actually see the difference on older Alphas: de4x5 works while tulip doesn't transmit or receive a single packet (getting netdev watchdogs later on...).
