I've seen this before. The tulip cards are just horrible at NWAY for some
reason. Either they get stuck in half duplex or the switch gets stuck in
half duplex and you get the problem you saw. I've never actually had a
tulip automatically negotiate full duplex with a switch :<
You can try using the media type forcing options when you install the
module, check Becker's web page for information.
The carrier+etc errors are your problem, you want to eliminate those.
