[Bug 45860] tulip driver doesn't work for Davicom

[Stefan Pauwels]

Public bug reported:

I upgraded to dapper and had the same problem like I had some time ago
when I upgraded debian to etch:

Dapper now loads the tulip module for my Davicom network interface. This
doesn't work (sometimes it works at least 1 minute but then stops
working).

Before the upgrade, breezy loaded the dmfe module for the same network interface, which worked perfectly.
dmfe still shows up in lsmod, but seems to be overridden by tulip.
Just blacklisting tulip in /etc/modprobe.d/somefile solves the problem.

So please just make dapper not load tulip for (I'm citing lspci):
Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31)

(I know it says tulip compatible. That's not true it seems)

I reported the bug a while back in the debian bug tracking systems (back when I was not using Ubuntu yet :-))
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=326723

Sorry, I am still not shure what package is responsible for this. udev?
discover?
