It probably depends on what is responsible for loading the module at the
different moments. Could you provide the following information:
- the output of 'lspci' and 'lspci -n' (only the lines for the network
device are needed)
- what tries to load the tulip driver? it could be either discover or
hotplug; your kern.log should be able to tell you
Cheers,
