Are you sure it's a real 4-port card, not an ethernet card with built-in
hub? They were real popular a while back.

That "FTP site at NASA" was the official site for the Linux Ethernet
drives by Donald Becker, which have since moved to
http://www.scyld.com/network.html (although they seem to be reorganising
that atm)

Your linux.txt file doesn't say anything about multiple interfaces (it
only talks about eth0) and since it references the official tulip driver,
I'd say if your tulip driver only detects one interface, your card most
likely only has one real interface.

Try plugging your patch lead into one of the other ports on the card. I
bet it still works as eth1.. :)
