Well then I guess the line below should end in m

This would mean it is compiled in as a module.  I don't have module
support compiled into my kernel, but I believe you should add 
alias eth1 tulip
to /etc/modutils/aliases
and then update-modules... but as I say I have a "monolithic" kernel so
I do not practice this system and you should read for yourself.  You
could also do
insmod tulip
to load the module, I think...
