That has been true for a long time. The only difference is that the driver has been moved to drivers/net/tulip/dmfe.c and the configure option has been hidden under Network device support / "Tulip" family network device support".

Are you planning to reorgonize the "Network device support" menu as a whole? It's a mess.
