Does it matter what driver I use for a tulip-based board?
It is tulip based, but two drivers seem to work for it.
Below is tulip.o:

I am not sure if anyone will read this far, but if they do question, which
driver do I use in this situation?
What are the benefits of one over the other?

What is the manufacturer and model of this ethernet card?
Usually, the tulip is the best driver....

I had one of those once..never got it to work. If you can get
a new card, I'd suggest a p430tx or a 4-port Intel pro/1000
GigE NIC. (The latter is 'only' $400 or so.)
If you can find an old DFE 570tx Dlink 4-port NIC those work
good too..but are discontinued for several years now.
Be careful about cheap Intel pro/100 4-port NICs..there are some
that will not negotiate link correctly.
