Subject: can't install tulip driver

I can't seem to get my ethernet card driver installed. The card is
recognized at some level because when I open the KDE control panel under
PCI, the card is listed properly as a Kingston NIC with address 0x400, irq
23. Several sources indicate that the correct driver for this card is the
tulip driver. I have tried to install the driver with modprobe but get the
following error message-
modprobe eth0 tulip
modprobe: Can't locate module tulip
I have also tried adding the lines
alias eth0 tulip
options eth0 io=0x400 irq=23
to my conf.modules file but to no avail. I then tried rebuilding all the
modules in /usr/src/linux with make modules; make modules_install. When I
look in the linux/drivers/net subdirectory however, there is no tulip.o file
corresponding to the tulip.c file.
Do I need to compile tulip.c separately and then move it to /lib/modules? If
I do compile it, what options do I need to set to make it a loadable module?
If I move the module into /lib/modules, will modprobe then be able to load
it?
I have tried reading all of the relevant HOWTO files but can't seem to
figure this one out.
Thanks in advance.
Peter
