I don't think you need to load a "tulip" module, I think you need to load the one specific for your card. Under the Tulip kernel config, there should be one of the others with a "m" in it. If you highlight it then right arrow over till help is highlighted at the bottom and hit enter, it will tell you the name of the module in there somewhere. Example, my Davicom uses this: "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support" and I have mine compiled in but modules will work too. The module that it would have to load is called "dmfe" not tulip. If you know the kernel and the modules are compiled correctly, try this command: "modprobe -l". That is a lower case L and leave off the quotes. That should list all the modules that are available to be loaded. Pick the correct one and try to load it. If it is not listed, then you have other issues. Hope that helps.

[gentoo-user] Tulip driver problems; eth0 does not exist..."netmount" was not started...
I have a working hardened system, 2.6.16-hardened-r11, but I can't seem to get eth0 recognized. My NIC is a Netgear FA310TX Rev D2 and I found that it uses the "Tulip" driver. I've tried compiling this driver by itself into the kernel both built-in and as a module. I've tried compiling the entire "Tulip" family of drivers into my kernel, trying <*> next to every possible selection under "Tulip" and again using in every instance allowed. I listed "tulip" in /etc/modules.autoload.d and it failed at boot, even though it was compiled as a module. Everything is copasetic when I boot off the livecd and I can ping google, etc. I tried emerging hotplug as one forum post I found indicated, but to no avail. I've done my best to find posts related to this, seemingly, common issue, but nothing has worked for me and I can't think of anything else to try.
