You need to look a bit further back in the dmesg output. I don't know what the tulip_stop_rxtx() failed means, but at the very least we should see the module being loaded and recognising the chip. If you don't know where to look, just send the entire dmesg output to me (off-line) and I'll have a look. Also, once you've loaded the "dmfe" module, check if you've got a new ethernet device - cat /proc/net/dev/.
I've attached a file in a seperate message offline to you, that contains the entire dmesg output after a reboot. I can't tell exactly why it is failing from this, perhaps you will be able to. It appears as though it identified the ip address of the dhcp server ... Also, here is the output of cat /proc/net/dev and also lsmod and modprobe dmfe linux:~ # cat /proc/net/dev Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packe ts errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed lo: 3756 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 3756 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 eth0: 2977 24 241 0 0 0 0 0 745 7 13 0 0 0 13 0 linux:~ # linux:~ # modprobe dmfe linux:~ # linux:~ # lsmod Module Size Used by nls_utf8 2048 0 hfsplus 75140 0 ipt_pkttype 1664 1 ipt_LOG 6912 7 vfat 12800 0 fat 49692 1 vfat ipt_limit 2304 7 subfs 7552 2 speedstep_lib 4228 0 freq_table 4612 0 snd_pcm_oss 59168 0 snd_mixer_oss 18944 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 51984 0 snd_seq_device 8588 1 snd_seq button 7056 0 battery 10244 0 ac 5252 0 af_packet 21384 0 edd 9824 0 tulip 51360 0 snd_intel8x0 33408 1 snd_ac97_codec 90876 1 snd_intel8x0 ehci_hcd 32136 0 snd_ac97_bus 2432 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 93064 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 24452 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 60420 10 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9184 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10632 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm i2c_i801 8844 0 i2c_core 20368 1 i2c_i801 hw_random 5268 0 intel_agp 22044 1 agpgart 33096 1 intel_agp uhci_hcd 32016 0 generic 4484 0 [permanent] usbcore 112640 3 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd shpchp 88676 0 pci_hotplug 26164 1 shpchp ip6t_REJECT 5504 3 ipt_REJECT 5632 3 ipt_state 1920 12 iptable_mangle 2688 0 iptable_nat 22228 0 iptable_filter 2816 1 ip6table_mangle 2304 0 ip_conntrack 42168 2 ipt_state,iptable_nat ip_tables 19456 8 ipt_pkttype,ipt_LOG,ipt_limit,ipt_REJECT,ipt_state,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter ip6table_filter 2688 1 ip6_tables 18176 3 ip6t_REJECT,ip6table_mangle,ip6table_filter ipv6 242752 13 ip6t_REJECT parport_pc 38980 1 lp 11460 0 parport 33864 2 parport_pc,lp dm_mod 54972 0 reiserfs 250480 1 ide_cd 39684 0 cdrom 36896 1 ide_cd fan 4996 0 thermal 14472 0 processor 24252 1 thermal piix 9988 0 [permanent] ide_disk 17152 3 ide_core 122380 4 generic,ide_cd,piix,ide_disk linux:~ #
