This means you did a "modprobe tulip" and it went OK?  does "lsmod"
show it as listed?

:
:ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
:SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

you'll need to add "up" to the end of ifconfig line, though with that
error it won't help yet.

Could be hardware issue, can you juggle cards to test this?

Could require commandline irq settings or some such, though this is
virtually unheard of with PCI cards, and I've never had to do it with
a tulip based card.

Look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/tulip.txt

cat /proc/interrupts see if the card is showing up there
