[Gllug] Dazed and confused

Matt, the driver for Xircom is xirc2cs_ps or something, and there's another
tulip driver, configure your kernel with both and see muck around till you
figure out which one you need. It's good practice to scrounge around the
kernel for the option you're looking for

Hope that helped

Bye for now
