Re: Tulip chip Netgear card



Isnt there a patch that fixes this?  I think the problem is the version of the
tulip driver that the 2.2.19 kernel has and you have to update the driver to
use the newer tulip based cards.

The CMOS setting for PNP OS may be wrong.  This only seemed
to matter for PCI cards on my latest installation, a new
motherboard with 2.2 Debian.  The setting of "PNP OS" to
NO gets the bios to initialize the bus/card.
This tripped me up as "PNP OS" used to effect PNP ISA
cards only.
