Description of problem:
Installed FC2 Test 2 with a internal tulip network chip enabled, but
as it doesn't work (a strange problem for some Compaq Presario 56xx
computers) I decided I should insert a natsemi based network card.
I halted the computer and inserted the new network card, and disabled
the internal chip. 

Under the boot sequence I was asked to remove support for the tulip
card which I did, but when using system-config-network to enable the
natsemi based network card. 
I selected the Device tab and pressed New, I got information about
adding a device for my DP83815 based network card.
I then tried to Activate the new device, but it complained about
problems initialize a tulip device.
I tryed to remove the eth0 line from modprobe.conf, but it did not help. 
But when I changed the line in modpropbe.conf from:
alias eth0 tulip
to:
alias eth0 natsemi
I was able to Activate the device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-network-1.3.16-1

How reproducible:
Didn't try

hmm, if you removed the card using kudzu, then kudzu should have
removed the alias from modules.conf...

Closing bugs on older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for any lack of
