Xavier,
Try this:
1) First get the newest tulip.c driver, V0.91 or maybe higher now.
2) Configure tulip driver as a module. (make sure you do 'make modules; make modules_install' after rebuilding kernel)
3) In /etc/modules.conf add:
alias eth1 tulip alias eth2 tulip options tulip options=5,5 debug=1
This will use the tulip driver for eth1 and eth2 and put them in 100Mb/Full Duplex (option 5). For other settings look at the beginning of tulip.c.
We've seen some flakiness(?) with 21143's trying to get them to do 100Mb/FD. 21140-AF's work much better.
Hope this helps
