Hi.

I have a Linux Mandrake 7.2 with a "PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143 Based" 
according to windows and GadLine CableModem.

In the installation process of Mandrake, it detects my net card and Enet 
button in cablemodem is turns on; but when I run my computer the Enet 
button is turn off.

I read the documentation in
http://www.scyld.com/network/
I downloaded the driver of tulip 
ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1.src.rpm
and nothing, my net card and cable modem aren't functioning.

One aclaration is that the net card is attached to board; my computer is 
a Compaq Presario 5673. While working with windows I don´t have any kind 
of problem.

Else, the net card is detected by kernel.

I attach the results of tulip-diag command:
