How did you configure your DHCP connection? How do you know that the
NIC driver is where the problem lies? Just loading the 'tulip' module
isn't going to give you an internet connection. (Think layered
architecture. You've only put layer 1 and 2 in place so far, now you
need 3, 4, and 5.)

You answered your own question with the next sentence.

Upgrade your kernel if you know that's what fixes the bug..
I've never had problems with tulip myself. I've got two LinkSys
cards; one is somewhere around 3 years old, the other is a year old.
The chips on them were made by different manufacturers, but both are
tulip.
