The problem with this is, that after another bugreport (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=284730) the kernel
module for this device was changed from dmfe to tulip. It seems that
some devices work with the dmfe module while others work with tulip, but
yet they both use the same PCI ID. I really don't know what to do in
this case.
What architecture are you using? Is this i386? If yes I suspect this is
another argument to implement architecture specific device lists.
