I have two of these cards in one box both working fine using the tulip
driver - originally under LM 7.0 and now LM 7.1. This sounds like a card
configuration problem. Check your BIOS settings and make sure PNPOS is set
to No. This will make the BIOS configure the cards IRQ and I/O address.
Many machines running Windows have PNPOS set to Yes which requires the OS to
configure the cards I/O and IRQ which Windows happily does and Linux doesn't
seem to do. Your lilo change only tells Linux where to look for the card.
