Umm... For the AMD PCnet card, use the "pcnet32" driver. Even though
they're commonly used in Tulip computers, it's not what's called a tulip
card; those are manufactured by Digital (or should I say Compaq).
Also, you should NEVER have to specify irq / io / whatever for PCI
cards. That in itself is an indication that you're using the wrong
driver.
Of course, if there is another AMD PCnet card that is NOT the PCnet32
card, my apologies.
