Bugfix for tulip.c / SMC CardBus still not working

Hello,

I'm still trying to make my SMC EZ CardBus 10/100 card (model 8034TX)
work with the tulip driver. Since there was no feedback from this list
(is Donald Becker reading it at all?), I've had a look at tulip.c
0.91x myself.

I think I've found one genuine bug in the CardBus section of the
driver, although unfortunately after fixing it the card still doesn't
work. The bug caused my DS21143 chip to be treated as a DS21140, and
the card's ROM to be treated as 'old-style'.

In other words, it is incorrect to assume that enum tulip_chips
provides indices into pci_tbl.

Having made this change, the card is identified correctly, and the
card's LED reflects whether there's a link or not (though it doesn't
blink when there is activity), but any attempts to send packets have
no effect whatsoever. In particular, not even the all-too-familiar "Tx
hung" message appears in the kernel log -- nothing is logged at all,
even with debug=6!

This is all that appears:

Unfortunately, tulip-diag doesn't seem to work correctly ATM, it
reports the EEPROM as all-zeroes, and apparently all status and error
flags as set.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
