[tulip] Compiling in the tulip driver

[Phil Barone]

Hi Jim,
  I noticed that you are now up and running, good job. I too am up but was
wondering when you said that "The driver and pci-scan has compiled with no
complaints.". You are saying that you had absolutely NO warnings when you
compiled? Mine compiled but had some warnings that I posted earlier, though
everything seems to be working.
