Yes!,
I still can not cet it to work with my system. I'm running a PowerMac 8500
with YDL 1.2.1 kernel 2.2.17-0.6.1 and tulip 0.92.
Each time I load the tulip module id get this:
/lib/modules/2.2.17-0.6.1/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister
/lib/modules/2.2.17-0.6.1/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_register

I just did it, and it did not complain. I did 'depmod -a' and no
errors were
reported.
Why did it complain about unresolved symbols when I compiled the
tulip.c
driver from the 1.2.1 distribution?
Net card is not here yet, so I can't try it out right now. I bought
"Farallon Fast EtherTX-10/100 PCI Plus" card. Anybody having
problems with
this card that I should know?
