[tulip-bug] Problems with 21041 in 2.4.9, worked in 2.2.19

[Edwin Chiu]

Hi,

Here is ths situation:

I have a 21041, I think it's an Acer or D-link fast ethernet card that
worked with 2.2.10 thru 2.2.19.

The new driver in 2.4.9 doesn't seem to work with the card... I can
see it sending packets on the switch, but it's definitely not receiving
anything, b/c the arp tables are empty.

Tried the stock 2.4.9 driver and the one that Jeff maintains on
sourceforge (tulip-1.1.8)

Here is some tulip-diag output:
