Well... I too, had hoped the tulip (and its dc21040 derivative)
driver would be the only one. While it works nicely on modern stuff
(2114[023]), it has some problems on a few of my test boxes (mostly
Alphas with onboard 21040).
Well, 2.6 tulip intentionally doesn't work at all on 21040 and 21041 :) That's what de2104x driver is for. Can you give that a beating, and verify that it works for you?
I know that 2114x chips with sym phys still have some issues; jamal has created a patch that fixes that (mostly updates tulip with the latest Becker phy code from Donald's tulip.c), which in turn fixes some 2114x issues on alpha.
And most of all, tulip doesn't support EISA :-).
If it meant I could kill de4x5, then I would be all for adding EISA support to tulip... :)
