Daniel,
Through searching this list by way of Google (after the local search did not
work), I found my answer.
The problem seems to be that both the dmfe and tulip modules are being
loaded. I can solve this problem by issuing the following commands (using
sudo):
modprobe -r dmfe
modprobe -r tulip
modprobe tulip
dhclient eth1
My next question is how do get this done automatically at system start. I
thought adding the following to modules.conf would be my ticket:
pre-install tulip modprobe -r dmfe; modprobe -r tulip
install module tulip
post-install tulip dhclient eth1
If you are using udev to manage your kernel modules (default way in
Debian), you can blacklist undesired modules and they are not going to be
automatically loaded. For example, to prevent loading of dmfe module you
can create a file (arbitrarily named) with contents
blacklist dmfe
in the /etc/modprobe.d directory. Then udev should only match the tulip
driver to your hardware and hopefully everything will work properly.
