It's done that for about as long as I can remember. At least a couple
years.

Your statement would arguably be correct if the card in question weren't
PCI. the addresses you listed are correct for ISA cards. however, my Tulip
based card is at IO 0x6000, and one of my rtl8139 cards at home is at
0xb400... PCI cards have a higher IO address range.

What I'm interested to know, is what does the module say in dmesg when
you try to load it, under 2.2.18 and under 2.4.2 when you just do a
'modprobe tulip'? What error does it give when you don't give anything, in
2.4.2?
