[TriLUG] Old dilemma, IBM Etherjet cards

[Brent Fox]

Tulip-based cards should already be supported.  I have some 10 Base T PCI 
cards that use the tulip module that work ok.  

I'm not sure if the tulip module is on the first boot disk or not.  You may 
need to make a driver disk with the drvnet.img file.  Boot the bootnet.img 
disk with 'linux dd' and then insert the driver disk when prompted.  Does 
that help?
