If insmod worked and lsmod lists something, it is possible that the card
is working but that other things need to be changed, depending on what you
are using the card for (ie. some dhcp setup needs to be completed, or you
need to set the ip address.) It is possible that "insmod tulip" would
have worked even before compiling the linksys driver - tulip is a generic
driver used by many cards, and linksys might have added some linksys
specific stuff, but this might not have been necessary. My netgear card
comes with a tulip.c file to be compiled and installed, but I have not
used it.
Of course, I have never successfully set up an ethernet card manually, and
I am going to post a related question right now. Any NIC that I have
gotten to work, I have gotten to work during the installation process, and
not afterwards.
