Sorry I wasn't clear.

The Tulip driver in the devel kernels is not working for me. Supposedly,
this card works with the driver in later 2.2 kernels.  I can't get 2.2.x to
boot on this machine I have, which is why I'm using 2.4 pre versions.

What I meant by the newer tulip driver was the version available from Don
Becker's tulip development page.

Yes.

Yes, here's the output from /proc/interrupts:
              CPU0
     1:       1820   i8259         keyboard
     2:          0   i8259         82c59 secondary cascade
     8:          2   i8259         rtc
    16:          0   OpenPIC       82c59 cascade
    27:          0   OpenPIC       NMI
    29:       4872   OpenPIC       eth0
    30:       4624   OpenPIC       eth1
    31:       6377   OpenPIC       aic7xxx

eth0 is an actual DEC tulip card, which works great.

Heh, sorry.  I'll attach it this time.
