tulip.c from Donald works fine for me on 2.2.17, but not in 2.2.18.

I've donloaded the Dec 12. version but it cannot handle my card.  It
does the same as the older tulip_cb.c from pcmcia_cs, it detects
Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 17 and does not detect the correct MAC
address for the card.  Also the default config does not have the card,
I have to manually add

card "Linksys EtherFast 10/100 CardBus PC Card"
  manfid 0x13d1, 0xab02
  bind "tulip"

card "Linksys EtherFast 10/100 CardBus PC Card"
  manfid 0x13d1, 0xab03
  bind "tulip"

This refers to Donald's drivers, I modified this to tulip_cb when I
was testing the pcmcia_cs release.  I used pcmcia_cs-3.1.22 with both
2.2.18 and 2.2.17, and tried the dec 12. pcmcia_cs-3.1.23 as well, but
not matter what I use, I cannot get 2.2.18 working.

I would really prefer Donald's driver, since it can suspend and resume
the card properly.  I also have a Xircom realport 10/100 cardbus card,
which only works with the tulip_cb.c in pcmcia_cs, and does not work
with Donald's driver.  With this card after suspend/resume I have to
run ifconfig to get it back up.  But maybe it's because of the
different card.
