Immediately after rebooting, check the output of "dmesg". Is it finding the card?
If not:
Say "lsmod". Does 'tulip' show up as a loaded module?
If not:
Try adding "alias eth0 tulip" into /etc/modules.conf.
Run "depmod -a", and then "modprobe eth0".
Watch for output, then do an "lsmod" and see if it shows up now.
Do another "dmesg" and see if there are comments about the driver being
loaded (or failures to load...)
If that fixes it, great; If not, forward the output of your dmesg to me or
the list.
