I had a similar box (I believe it was AlphaStation 6/333 or something). 
It originaly came with a board which combined SCSI controller (Qlogic 
based) and 10base-T/10base2 combo net controller. I never managed to 
make this NIC to work with Becker's tulip driver while the other one 
works just fine. I believe you can still find it in  current 2.4 kernels 
under "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA". Later on I added 
another 'brand DEC' NIC to get 100base-TX which also only worked with 
the 'old' driver. Only half-duplex though. As it didn't behave better 
under OSF1 3.2 I believe it's hardware issue anyway.
