One more thing.  Now that I have a 2.6 installation, when it boots the
tulip module is loaded automatically.  At first this was because tulip
was listed in /etc/modules (by the installer), but I have since
removed tulip from that file and it still gets loaded.  During the
boot I see the yenta module for the CardBus socket get loaded and then
I see

Cleaning: /etc/network/ifstate
Starting hotplug system:

So the installed system does detect my card automatically, it's just
the installer itself that has a problem.
