tulip.c says:

#define DRV_VERSION     "0.9.15-pre12"
#define DRV_RELDATE     "Aug 9, 2002"

Interestingly, I don't think this problem was occurring with the 2.2
kernel, which used "v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99".

(in both cases I'm using the Debian stock source, which in this case I
don't think differs from vanilla kernel source).

syslog reports:

eth0: Autonegotiation failed, using 10baseT, link beat status 10cc.

Also, I frequently see:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: PNIC2 transmit timed out, status e4260000, CSR6/7 e0402002 / effffbff=
 CSR12 000000c8, resetting...

=2E...

eth0: PNIC2 transmit timed out, status e4260000, CSR6/7 e0402002 / effffbff=
 CSR12 000000c8, resetting...
eth0: Out-of-sync dirty pointer, 19 vs. 38.

and so on.

Sometimes it seems to me more frequent than others, and switches back and
forth between 100baseT and 10 baseT.
