  I'm not certain how much help this'll be, but the last time I had a
similar problem was several years back, using an old 430FX motherboard
with an old Award BIOS.  It was a PCI PnP configuration problem relating
to the IRQ assigned to the board.  Note that I generally had this
problem only when I had installed multiple identical adapters.
  To work around this problem:
  - Try running the device's DOS diagnostic (if possible) to see if it
reports a problem.
  - If the BIOS has a "Reset configuration data" option, try that.
  - Try moving the card to a different slot, assuming the Tulip device
is mounted on a PCI card.

  More information would be helpful.
