I believe that is your problem. The tulip modules that comes with the 
standard kernel distributions I've tried do not work with the boards I 
have (ADMTek Comet on the LinkSys card). Get the tulip.c, pci-scan.c, 
kern_compat.h and pci-scan.h from the scyld site. Compile the .c files 
using the command in those .c files. Copy them to /lib/modules/`uname 
-r`/net. Do a depmod -a and modprobe tulip.

That is what worked for me. Caveat: I do not have exactly the same chip 
you have nor exactly the same kernel, but I think the chances are still 
good that my advice is valid here.
