[tulip-bug] Success and Failure with tulip_cb.o module with LinkSys PCMCIA ethernet card

[Michael Sparks]

This may be the wrong place to post this and if so, apologies...

I have the following hardware:
   * Lifebook P laptop
   * Linksys PCPM200 PCMCIA ethernet card

The two really don't want to talk to each other under linux.

Unless I run tcpdump in the background, in which case, they're a very
happy threesome... I would dearly love not to have to run tcpdump in the
background - though it's a novel workaround ... :-)

(I tried it since dhcpcd was able to pick up an IP address and loopback
connections _eventually_ connected)

The question I have initially is a) Is this the right place to ask for
help b) if it is, what information would be needed to debug what's going
on here so that I can switch of tcpdump ? (And add another working piece
of hardware to the linux fold... :-)
