Is this a tulip or networking problem? I was poking around with dhclient the other day (trying to get a dhcp client that would work on both 2.0 and 2.3) and brought the interface up and now a few times. As I recall, the NETWORK would break if I brought the interface down -- I think that it was gluing routes to the interface and ignoring both route and ifconfig's attempts to say "no, really, when we bring the fucking interface down we mean it" -- but if I rmmod'ed the tulip driver and put it back in it would flush the routes and work again.
____ david parsons \bi/ I think it's documented, so it's become a feature \/ instead of a bug :-(
