problems upgrading from 2.4.19-2.4.20

I have a HP B180 (parisc) that I have been using as a firewall/router for
some time now. Along with the built in tulip ethernet card, I also have
a Adaptec quad ethernet card that is also tulip based. This has worked
fine in 2.4.17-2.4.19 but no longer works in 2.4.20-pa13. Although I
can ifconfig up the interfaces, no traffic goes through and mii-tool
reports that the interfaces do not exist (except for the built in one).

After reporting this to the parisc list, Grant Grundler
([email protected]), said that he was having same problem on
a HP A500 (also parisc) but with a single port HP tulip card. He thought
that it was probably a tulip driver bug and not a parisc specific bug,
so I thought I would also post it here.

In the following dmesg out takes for 2.4.20-pa13 and 2.4.19-32 (debian),
it seems that the older kernel is finding the transceiver and
successfully auto-negotiating the link while the newer is not.

Any ideas how to solve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
