Subjecttulip question: tulip.o vs de4x5.o
Which driver is recommended for a 4 port card?

Each driver works, I have not benchmarked performance with one over the
other with ttcp yet; however, does anyone have any experience with using
one over the other? I see the tulip has several options and the de4x5
seems to be a rather generic driver.

<M> DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support
[*] New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers
[*] Use NAPI RX polling
[*] Use Interrupt Mitigation

vs.

<M> Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA

Any suggestions?
