SubjectRe: MPS version
The guys on the linux-tulip list have noticed that enabling MPS 1.4
"fixes" dual tulip support. Basically with MPS 1.1 they can't get two
tulip based cards to work in the board. I think the Iwill dual celeron
board was having the same problem. Anyways, sounds like something is
funky with the dual celeron boards (not that I'm too suprised).
