Thats correct, it's an "IBM 10/100 EtherJet" (P/N 08L3148), but the
card appears to have a tulip chipset.

I will try with the standard tulip driver aswell.

Under 2.3.99-pre3:

squeamish:~# dump_cis
Socket 0:
  no CIS present

squeamish:~# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available

Also, 'ifconfig eth0 down; sync; cardctl eject", and the physicaly
ejecting the card causes a total lockup of the machine under pre3 (I
just did this).
