Worked for me as well, 3 out of 3 tries.

This is done. Make sure you build the boot floppies with base-config 0.13
available (unless you like having an empty root password!). I've also ripped
out all the old stuff it replaces.
I now need translations for debian/templates in the base-config package.
Also, the new base-config stuff will need to be tested by someone installing
on a serial console to make sure I haven't messed that up. It'd be good if
someone could also test it with a ppp install, I haven't excercized that
code path at all.

Twice now I have selected the tulip driver in modconf, seen it load ok, used
it to grab base, and not had it appear in /etc/modules on reboot.
