Hi everybody,

I am using the 0.92t tulip driver loaded as a kernel module.  I have
tried this experiment with kernel revs 2.2.14 and 2.2.18 with similar
results.

1) Install one Linksys card (tulip-diag reports it as a Digital DC21041
Tulip).  Works great.  Call this eth0.

2) Install 2nd Linksys card (tulip-diag reports this as an ADMtek AL985
Centaur-P but I call it a Linksys LNE100TX v4.1).  This one is eth1.

3) 2nd Linksys card eth1 works great...but eth0 stopped working.  Here
is an excerpt from /var/log/messages:

Jan 15 18:06:50 firewall kernel: eth0: 21041 media switched to 10baseT.

I can't fathom what I might have done wrong.  Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
