I don't understand you completely I believe.
The current Debian package on ftp.debian.org (version 20040229) has
tulip.c in its source and --enable-tulip in it's configure line, so I
assume that it is included. The source package is also quite identical
to the current gnumach-1-branch of GNU Mach in CVS.

Yeah, this is the version string of the current driver in GNU Mach 1.x
and it seems that your card gets detected.
AMS has whipped together a patch with the latest drivers from Donald
Becker, you can find his announcement with a link to the patch at
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-02/msg00291.html
Maybe those drivers work better for you, please report back if you try
these out, they need testing.

I believe you can do something like (not in single-user mode!)
cat /dev/klog > log
Wait a couple of seconds and hit ^C. Not sure whether this is the
correct procedure though.
cheers,
Michael
