Question: Unsupported Tulip card only works with DHCP

I've got an unsupported Intel 21142/3 based 10/100 PC card that works fine using the tulip driver as long as I configure it using DHCP. When I configure the card manually, it won't work until I reset it by issuing a "ifconfig eth0 down up". The only problem is that when I do this, I lose the default route. My guess is that pump is somehow resetting the card when it configures it. I know the card isn't supported, but I'd still like to use it if possible. Is there an easy way to force the card to reset without losing routes?

I know it isn't a real solution... Re: Question: Unsupported Tulip card only works with DHCP (Mike McDonald) Date: 2000, Apr 28 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

but why not just do the reset, and then set up the default route again? That seems to me to be only marginally harder than doing just the reset by itself. -- Dave
