This is pretty frustrating. Apparent, Red Hat (or Cobalt) had this 
problem fixed in that ancient Linux kernel. But, both NetBSD and Gentoo 
linux (well, I suppose the kernel is the same no matter what distro it 
is) have problems with these Tulip devices. What gives?

I'd think that if we had a working driver back in 1998 or whenever, that 
we'd still have a working driver, today. Is this one of those 
Linksys-style "oh ho ho! we'll take your precious open-source software 
for free, but give you nothing in return ah ha ha!" kinds of situations?

Agreed. However, my understanding is that the driver goes belly-up after 
a certain amount of traffic goes by (or is it only if you push it too 
hard?). That's an actual problem, not just an inconvenience.
