This should work: the "modprobe" should do
   first tries to load the old tulip driver
       which doesn't detect the card
   tries to load the updated tulip driver
       which requires loading pci-scan.o first

If this doesn't happen properly, try changing the search path order in
/etc/modules.conf by adding these lines at the beginning

# Prefer Scyld driver updates by putting them first
path[net]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net
path=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/

or just do
  rm /lib/modules/2.4.20-9/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o
