I had a hell of a time with my Farallon card as well. It has a Dec
21043 which the stock driver thinks it can handle, but it cannot.
My solution was to:
-Get the latest tulip driver source;
-Recompile the kernel with all ethernet card drivers as modules;
-modprobe the new modular tulip driver
No problems since. See http://lists.yellowdoglinux.com/yellowdog-general/october99/0075.html
