I have bee doing some homework and see that a number of Linux distributions have problems with the DEC 21041 chip set. It seems that the tulip driver needs to be loaded, but it may be version specific. Knoppix 5.1 finds the card, but can't configure it so that it will actually work. See below.
Booted with this string:
knoppix acpi=off noapic nolapic pnpbios=off pci=bios
knoppix@Knoppix:~$ ifconfig -a

I did a lsmod and see that the tulip driver is there, but zero use. What is the best way to get this card (Kingston KNE40BT) to work, or just get two new cards?
Thanks,
Dave
