It should be as simple as adding the following to the tulip driver:
{ "Davicom DM9102", { 0x91021282, 0xffffffff },
TULIP_IOTYPE, 0x80, DC21140 },
{ "Davicom DM9100", { 0x91001282, 0xffffffff },
TULIP_IOTYPE, 0x80, DC21140 },
I have this in my development version, but I don't have a Davicom card to
test with. This also assumes that the EEPROM media table is correct for the
board -- the Dmfe driver is the typical single-point driver that doesn't
parse the EEPROM, but just picks out the fields that it wants.
