Knoppix 3.8: booting stops at eth0

[rec9140]

That's been a very goog idea! I have tried Kanotix 2005-02 which uses Kernel 2.6.11, too, I think - and eth0 works fine - no longer any problem with tulip or not tulip...

Please VERIFY that Kanotix is using kernel V2.6.11 and which module and version of the module(s): tulip, de4x5, or de2104x and which Tulip chip? 21040,21041, 21043?

I would like to get this nailed down to what the exact cause is: Tulip module(s), pump or kernel.

Once nailed down I want to get this submitted to the proper people to correct for future versions.

One workaround is posted here, and it works. I am going to have to try some more tests but some combo of kernel, pump, module, and dhclient are the problem.
