Will this tulip.c from 2.0.36 workk "as is" with 2.1.x/2.2pre? Maybe I'll try putting the NetGear back in my machine and see if tulip 0.89H causes my machine to spontaneously reboot again. I'm currently using 2.1.131-ac10 (with some sound patches) on an old SMC/WD 8013 ISA ethernet card and it's been running great for almost 2 days straight.
I too, am not happy with the idea of sticking with v0.83K for kernel 2.2.0 as it completely does not work on the Lite-On PNIC cards, and true blue DEC Tulip cards are getting hard to find if you're buying new. Then again, I'm still within my 30days of receiving the new NetGear card -- maybe'll just return it with a note that it doesn't support Linux ;-)
