I've, uh, "fixed" that problem, and installed drivers from the scyld.com
page... here are some of the the error messages I get now:

Feb  8 02:20:38 linux kernel: eth1: PCI Fatal Bus Error, fc67e014.
Feb  8 02:20:38 linux kernel: eth1: PCI Fatal Bus Error, fc66e010.
Feb  8 02:20:39 linux kernel: eth1: PCI Fatal Bus Error, fc67e050.

Note these show up a few hundred times a second it seems like. I get these
on both eth0 and eth1.

tulip-diag gives:

 Use '-a' or '-aa' to show device registers,
     '-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,
  or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.

finally, for some reason the load message doesn't seem to have changed....
if I am finding the right entries among the loads of error messages.
But, "modinfo tulip" gives:

modinfo tulip
filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o
description: "Digital 21*4* Tulip ethernet driver"
author:      "Donald Becker <[email protected]>"
....

before this had some other email address, so it seems to be the right
driver, maybe I installed it incorrectly?  I had some trouble installing
it, but did eventually get it to work.

As before, the chip is throwing out errors left and right, but my
functionality doesn't seem to have taken a hit.
