Not surprising - the tulip driver was almost totally rewritten for 2.4.x
and I'm sure there are still some cases where it doesn't work like the
2.2.x driver did.

Not needed with PCI cards; since tulip cards are pci only, tulip.o doesn't
know what io= and irq= mean.

That means that the card was detected but the driver couldn't use the
resources the PCI bus set the card for.
Tried moving the card to a different PCI slot?

Posting the dmesg output after a failed driver load would be a great place
to start :)
