I hate to point out the obvious but the DEC chipset wont run with any of the
above drivers even if they are modules ...

tulip.o is the only one .... if its a Netgear 310TX works like a charm if
its a 311FX ( new type )

youl need to compile the given tulip driver on the Netgear Floppy supplied
with the nic ..

I would not change the Nic and waist $$$'s over something as trivial as
this.
