I'm not really using that network controller but an off-board intel e1000 controller. However, I found that the tulip driver produces a lot of noise in the message log, the following message is repated periodically and spams the whole message log: 0000:00:03.0: tulip_stop_rxtx() failed (CSR5 0xf0260000 CSR6 0xb3862002) Do you think this is related to the fact that no cable is connected to the network controller? The lspci output of the hardware looks like this: test-adrian1:~# lspci 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 30) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:07.1 IDE interface: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:07.2 IDE interface: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:07.3 USB Controller: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc.
