Re: Parity error on 2nd Tulip card

After looking through the logs to find this info, it looks like the card
was always broken, even when it was the only tulip on the system.  Could
this be a hardware problem?

Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre12 (Aug 9, 2002)
PCI: Enabling device 00:06.0 (0014 -> 0017)
eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0xc2839c00, 00:04:5A:4A:CD:77, IRQ 9.
PCI: Enabling device 00:0e.0 (0014 -> 0017)
eth1: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0xc283d800, 00:04:5A:6E:CF:59, IRQ 10.

Is that what you're looking for?

From /var/log/messages
