In my driver configuration section (conflict resolution), the following network drivers are available: cs ed fe ie lhc sn It ends up that I disabled all the drivers, and the dc driver was chosen automagically. So, for the search engine users of the future, I did an ftp install using Kingston KNE110TX and KNE100TX cards using the "dc" driver. I don't know what this means with regards to having the tulip code in a specific driver or in multiple drivers. Problem solved, system installed, and now, the learning process begins.
