After updating to the newer tulip driver in the devel kernels, my problems
with my real tulip card went away. I've been having trouble getting two
other cards working however -- the lite-on card that I mentioned before, and
another tulip clone (Kingston). The kingston card was much worse -- it
dropped ~30% of packets under light load, and completely locked up under
medium-heavy load.
Note that Josh is using a similar box as me, a CHRP LongTrail. In fact all
people with LongTrails seem to have problems with Tulip chips. So it might be a
motherboard problem.
Yeah, which would be unfortunate... :(

That would REALLY suck because I was looking forward to throwing my PNIC
and PNIC II test cards into this old PMac 7200 which I use for testing
drivers on PPC. If it is a general endian bug in the PNIC* codepath,
testing there should hopefully expose the problem.
If not, I have a feeling Josh and I will be exchanging e-mail... :)
