you need to have the tulip module before you can load it :)
you may have to build it from kernel source if YD doesn't include it
with their set of modules.
Get the source for your kernel-
make clean
make mrproper
make pmac_config
(if you have gui up)
make xconfig
Go to networking and choose the tulip driver as modular.
Quit xconfig
make dep
make modules
make modules install
depmod -a
insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/tulip.o
If you don't want to do all that, my kernel and module rpms have the
tulip module. I'm gonna build a new version tonight, though,
hopefully fixing the dependency problem with kernelcfg (though i
never use kernelcfg myself...)
