tulip 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?
