In general you can answer this yourself by reading
drivers/net/tulip/ChangeLog.
I don't see increasingly common timeout reports.. with which hardware?
They are likely on the

While playing around with the agpgart module I noticed the following strange

The hardware in question is an Asus K7V with the KX133 chipset and has been
tested on both 2.4.0 and 2.2.18 kernels.

We've found a case on 2.4.0 where an open performed on a looping symlink
(a symlink that points to itself) does not fail correctly when the open

First few things I noticed were things left out. I'm not sure about any of
these. The last thing is vmlinux doesn't link. Tons of missing symbols.
This is what I did to compile:
