+!! My Davicom (tulip) network card isn't working  
+There is [a recorded problem with the tulip driver|http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/48287] in the kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06. The 'tulip' driver claims the card, but it should be assigned to the 'dmfe' driver.  
  
-! My Davicom card (tulip) isn't working  
-There seems to be some problems with the tulip drivers in Dapper . Using the <tt>dmfe</tt> driver fixes this. 
+This problem was fixed in the package for 2.6.15-24 .40, and the latest kernel from dapper-security should no longer have this bug
