The disk that came with the board has a tulip driver.  I compiled it and 
replaced
the mandrake tulip.o with the new one.  Used netconf to put "tulip" in for the
kernel module in place of the previous "ne".  Initialization still fails on boot
up.

I've screwed with it so much that now eth0 also fails initialization on boot up.
ifconfig eth0 up (or ifconfig eth1 up) gives unknown interface - no such device.
Getting real discouraged.
