There is no need to be "finding" a tulip driver for the kernel it is already included it should be as simple as using modprobe tulip as root to load the module and have it available for use. What kind of network card do you have??

That is weird most of the cards I have are tulip and they always work and the module should be included in knoppix what does the output this command grep TULIP /boot/config-2.4.22-xfs in a console window (the shell on a monitor in the taskbar) show you it should look similar to this from my machine.
Code:
HappyTux:/home/stephen# grep TULIP /boot/config-2.4.24.040105
CONFIG_TULIP=m
# CONFIG_TULIP_MWI is not set
# CONFIG_TULIP_MMIO is not set
And you did use lower case letters right not modprobe Tulip but modprobe tulip?
You may want to use lspci -v in the console window to see if the card is getting an irq, what it looks like here.
Code:
HappyTux:/home/stephen# lspci -v

The relevant output of what it looks like when you use lsmod in the console window if the card is in use.

You will need to either go to nvidia's site and get the proper driver then compile it or you can get re-masters of knoppix and I think the latest version of knoppix as well has the forcedeth ( I believe that is what it is called spelling may be wrong though) open source driver for the card that can be used. Alternatively you could unplug the cable from the onboard and put it in the linksys and knoppix would find and use the card or is there just the one card in the machine and you made a mistake with the make/model if this is the case you could buy a $10 cheapie netcard most of them I have gotten are tulip based and detected immediately.
