Hi,

i have tulip network card in my computer. Well, maybe not original tulip, i dont know. There are two drivers> de4x5 and tulip.
My card reports itself as in lspci:


0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 30)

numerically 1011:0019 (rev 30)

boot detection identifies it as de4x5, and loads driver. but when it reaches dhcp section, it does print eth0 found, running dhcp... Then instead of (backgrounded) it hangs whole machine. If i changed scripts a bit, and with debug mode removed de4x5 driver and loaded tulip, all was fine. I think i used to run under de4x5 driver also some years before, but havent tried it since. What i am sure is, tulip at least on my machine works better.

I havent found where exactly it detects network driver, so i cant post patch myself. Maybe it will help to others.
