[tulip] Re: Linksys (4.1) and Mandkrake 8.1

[Sandeep Mukherjee]

Do you have a dual boot system, eg win-98 plus linux on same PC?
If you do, and are booting into linux after windows, try a cold linux boot -

that is switch off the PC, turn power supply off and on, then boot linux
WITHOUT booting windows first.

Hope this helps.

I have struggled with this for a long time.

Basically I can load the driver okay but can't
ping out ... at best I can get thousands of System Error
occurred worst I get transmit timed out.

Old HP Pavallion with crappy BIOS.
I have tried PNP to Other, None etc.. with no 
luck 

Any advice including arguments to pass to the
driver would be greatly appreciated..
