I tried it with the tuilp 0.89h it works but "sometimes" i get timeout
or the complete net connection breaks :-(

I tried it also with the "latest" version 0.91g but this version does
not work at all (no connection).

Does anyone know which version of the tulip driver work for the chip
used by Ruffian UX motherboards (or which options to use)

Regards
