I have solved this type of configuration by setting the wrong modules
to the blacklist of hotplug/udev. The right module is then in /etc/modules.
If you do not put the modules into the blacklist, udev/hotplug will
load the *WRONG* module additionally (leads to crash/problems).

Hi Jay,
many thanks for your help, with the de4x5 module the networks runs propperly.
Just one last question:
is there a way to make that permanent, so that the right module is
loaded at boot-time?

Is sombody aware of a solution for this problem?
Many of the Alphas with builtin old/slow TULIPs give problems with
the current default driver ("de2104x"). I think it's NOT the driver's
fault, but some kinda quirky implementation on the mobos. Regardless,
it doesn't work successfully (and won't, until the quirkiness is
understood).
If the other TULIP driver "de4x5" is built for your kernel, try that.
By old/slow TULIPs, I mean 21040 and 21041 chipsets.
Are there any changes that should be made to the kernel's modules.pcimap for
this?
If they become "generic", meaning affect ALL platforms, then no, I think
that'd be wrong, since the majority of machines don't have the builtins,
and don't exhibit the problem.
And the Alphas with those builtin are:
AS200/AS250/AS255/AS300/AS500
Those same old/slow TULIP chipsets, when on a PCI card (like the DE434
and DE435), do seem to work OK with the "de2104x" driver, IIRC.
Hrm. Does that mean the PCI IDs match between the working and non-working
cases?
I believe they match exactly, but I'll check...
