That's the problem.
The pre-0.91j Tulip drivers work on the PowerPC, but used the descriptor
byte-swapping feature of the Tulip so that the driver wouldn't need to
byte
swap on the PPC.  (It still must in the setup, but not during
operation.)

But the most of the Tulip clones, including the PNIC, didn't both to
implement the byte-swap feature. 

I used to advise just buying a real Tulip board.  But I decided that I
had
spent way too much answering "bug" reports, and it was only going to get
worse with the increasing number of clone chips.  So the v0.91j and
later
drivers have explicit byte swapping.

Get the new driver from
  http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/kern-2.3/index.html
  ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/kern-2.3/

You *must* get the new support files (k_compat.h pci-netif.[ch]) as
well!

This is great!  This should also help all the Pacbell DSL customers
that got free KNE110's.  Shawn, thanks for tracking this down.

Anyway, now the bad news: I'm running R4 on the machine in question.
When I try to compile pci-netif.c I get the following output:

pci-netif.c: In function `pci_find_capability':
pci-netif.c:342: `PCI_STATUS_CAP_LIST' undeclared (first use this function)
pci-netif.c:342: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pci-netif.c:342: for each function it appears in.)
pci-netif.c:344: `PCI_CAPABILITY_LIST' undeclared (first use this function)
pci-netif.c: In function `acpi_wake':

pci-netif.c: In function `acpi_set_pwr_state':
pci-netif.c:396: `PCI_CAP_ID_PM' undeclared (first use this function)

The rest of the package seems to be designed to work with older
kernels (I'm using 2.1.130), so I suspect that this is a ppc specific
problem.  Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA,

cbb
