Hi,
0.89k on an Alpha with kernel 2.1.115 and ANA 6911A-txc
fails, even with julians fixes. some errors when
compiling with a recent egcs (egcs-2.91.52
/usr/local/bin/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/var/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8 -c -o tulip.o tulip.c

after it built the card is dead in the water, no link beat etc.
surprisingly i am working fine with version 0.87O
I usually get a eth0: ***WARNING***: No MII transceiver found!
but once when booting 89K it found one. then it didnt anymore.
confusing.
It would be greatly appreciated if the ANA card would work eventually...
oh, this machine is still on a 10mbit BNC link.
Thanks guys whoever spends time developing this.
