Tulip driver doesn't work as module on 2.4.6

Tulip driver doesn't work as module on 2.4.6

[John Kacur]

Hi

With Kernel 2.4.6, when I compile the Tulip driver as a module, I don't
have network connectivity. I can ping myself, and netstat -rn gives the
same table as with earlier kernels, but I can't connect to any of the
other computers on my network. (network = 1 pentium 120, and 1 pentium
133 running a 2.2.16 and a 2.0.36 kernel respectively.) (the module is
loaded correctly and I have all the correct levels of support programs
as listed in the Changes file.) When I compile the Tulip driver directly
into the Kernel, it works.

I would be happy to provide more information to anybody who wants to try
to figure this one out, just ask me what you need to know.

Thanks

I haven't had this problem.  I did my compile last p.m. and so far my Compaq
Deskpro is running better than ever.  Which tulip based card are you
running?  Mine is a Linksys 10/100.  More detail please.  I'm doing a modular
load also.
