  I'm running tulip.c v0.89K, what is more recent than that?

	warlock@akasha: strings /usr/src/linux/vmlinux | grep tulip.c

  Hsm.  I recompiled with HAVE_PRIVATE_IOCTL defined and I can see
private_ioctl in tulip.o (via `nm'), but it is still returning that
error message.  Ugh.  I'm going to have to make this a module so I can
tweak it without having to reboot everytime.

  I included the output of `tulip-diag -fmm', below.  Compiled as...

	gcc -O -Wall -o tulip-diag tulip-diag.c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLIBMII libmii.c

  glibc-2.0.96 "unpolluted" getopt(), so I need that to -D_GNU_SOURCE compile.
