DEC Personal WS 500a

[ErMaC]

I've had a similar problem, and the only workaround I've found so far is to
download an earlier kernel to get an older driver (for some reason
unbeknownst to me). I've installed RedHat on two different Personal WS's (a
300i and a 266i) and the only way I got the card to work was with a 2.2.1
kernel (I think the driver in the kernel download changed in 2.2.3 or so).
Try taking the tulip.c file from those kernel distributions and using that.

Not a very good solution but a workaround, none the less.
