I have a DFE530-TX, but I don't use the tulip module.
Instead, the via-rhine module works fine for me. But I don't know if it will be
the case for you as it is not exactly the same chip.
To try the via-rhine module, log in as root and type 'modprobe via-rhine' in a
command line.
If it works (ie : you have no error message), edit your /etc/conf.modules file,
and change the line
alias eth0 tulip
by
alias eth0 via-rhine
And that should be ok.
