NDC Fast Ethernet and insmod problems.

[Kevin Pilch]

Hi all, this is my first post to this list, and hopefully it hasn't been
covered before.  I took a look through the archives and couldn't find
anything, so I thought I would send a message and see what you thoughtful
ladies and gentlemen could do to help.

I have a Caldera 2.2 box, with a stock 2.2.5 kernel.  It now has two NICs,
a SMC EtherPower 9332, which I have had for 2.5 years, and has always
worked fine with the de4x5 module.  Now I just got a NDC FastEthernet
10/100 card (don't ask, it came with my cable modem).  It appears to use a
tulip driver, since that is what ships with it on the disk.

I used the supplied compile command, and it worked fine, however, when I
do a depmod -e tulip, or insmod tulip, I get several undefined references.

Unfortunately I am not at home right now, so I don't have the exact error
messages handy, but there were 5 or 6 functions, all of the same form.
They all consisted of a normal function name, followed by an underscore,
and about 10 seemingly random characters, an example would be as follows:

tulip.o: Undefined reference 'etherdev_init_Rb27Ijd'

I am fairly sure that that was one of them, although the end part is
different I am sure.

Anyway, sorry for the long winded question, but does anyone out their know
what is going on?
