I've had several bad experiences with tulip cards on kernel 2.2 (got most to
work, eventually, by downloading drivers and recompiling). I'm not sure what
the situation is with 2.4, but if my experience is any indication - then I
don't want to touch tulip cards ever. also - I wasn't impressed with their
performance : on one occasion, a channel bundled host (2xbase100) got about
10% more bandwidth utilization when it was moved from tulip based cards to
intel based cards.

"Cards that are Tulip compatible are not supported well on Linux and may not

This is complete and utter bullshit. Not only Tulip chip based cards work
well with Linux (and have been since 1.0.x), they are also the best cards to
use performace wise (for any OS).
