trying to get tulip.c-0.90Q to work with DEC PC (integrated contr oller)

My PC is a DEC Digital PC 5000 with an integrated network controller.  When
running window95 the driver is "Digital Semiconductor 21143/2 based 10/100
mbps Ethernet Controller".

I have downloaded and compiled per the instructions at
http://www.bmen.tulane.edu/~siekas/driver.html the tulip.c-0.90Q driver.
I'm running Red Hat 5.2 Linux.

I load the tulip.o module at boot time.  But networking doesn't come up.

Any pointers to the right direction would be appreciated.

Here's some info from the system.  I'm not sure about all that I see here:
