The fix in ac14 for the ac13 patch that killed the tulip driver doesn't
quite work either:

I need more details:
does it immediately time out (after a few seconds), or a after a few
minutes.

Which network speed do you use? 100MBit half duplex?

Could you please run the tulip-diag program I send you yesterday?
#tulip-diag -mm -aa -f

both before and after the hang.

Thanks,
