I have posted this to the comp.os.linux.networking news group. Have
not have any joy as to problem resolution.
I have installed the 2.2.3 kernel source and rebuild my system kernel.
Also used the new (24-feb-'99) tulip.c with the 2.2.3 source.
I have found one other linux user within Compaq that has this problem.
He as install a DEC DE450 (21041) base card. I have also done this, but
due to a site restriction. I will have to remoce this card and go back
to using the in-build controller chip.
Can anyone assit me in getting a resoulition to this problem. This
problem is reproducable on all of these DEC PC modles I have tried on
here.

I am having trouble getting and Digital PC 5000-266 PII system to use
the build in DEC Chip 21143 ethernet controller. The onboard controller
works fine, when I am in my BORG BODY SUIT (ie Windows NT4.0 SP4) But I
am trying real hard to remove my BORG eye piece, Arm extender and body
suit ;) .
Anyhow enough of the sillyness. The red hat 5.2 CDrom install never
detected this controller, I have re-build a(several) kernals (modular
and monolitic) with the newest tulip.c (24-feb-'99). This kernal find
the controller but end's up with a warning about the transcever being
not found. When I tried a modular kernal I never saw the eth0: device
get reported in the message log. I use the xconfig tool changed the 'Y'
to a 'M' (PCI ether section was still 'Y') make boot; make clean; make
dep; make modules; make modules_install. cpoy the kernel, and
/sbin/lilo. Rebooted.
