Here is what worked for me under the same situation:
Created a new kernel with no support for the dec (D21143) chip no other card
either. That stopped it from picking it up at boot time. Then setup the
tulip card as you did (modprobe tulip)and put it into a boot script. Now I
only get eth0 (built in interface) and eth1 (farallon 10/100 card) and they
both work.

OK, here what was happening: kernel was seeing one extra card !!!
eth0
was the BMAC, eth1 was a GHOST ethernet interface, and then after
manually doing 'modprobe tulip' the kernel would register yet
another
eth interface - eth2.
eth2 WORKS!
Here is what was going on, maybe some of you can explain it to me:
early in the boot process-
Mar 30 19:09:50 cosray-g3 kernel: eth0: BMAC at 00:05:02:ad:d9:22
Mar 30 19:09:50 cosray-g3 kernel: eth1: DC21143 at 0x0400 (PCI bus
0,
device 14)
, h/w address 00:00:c5:53:b4:a1,
Mar 30 19:09:50 cosray-g3 kernel: and requires IRQ24 (provided
by
PCI BIOS
).
Mar 30 19:09:50 cosray-g3 kernel: de4x5.c:V0.544 1999/5/8
davies@maniac.ultranet

OK. eth1 does not work after this.
Now I do 'modprobe tulip' -

And eth2 interface is created. Now I do 'ifup eth2' and bingo, it
works!!!
here is the result - ifconfig gives me
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:53:B4:A1
inet addr:128.175.14.23 Bcast:128.175.14.255

Which is fine. Telnet works, ping works.
Would somebody explain to me what exactly was going on?
Thanks.
