>Description:
Multiple tulip boards, using the tlp driver, attempt to share an interrupt,
and don't work.

>How-To-Repeat:
Plug in 2 tulip boards, use the tlp driver, observe that only one works,
presumably because they are attempting to share an interrupt.
>Fix:
workaround #1:
The fix in http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-help/2004/05/19/0006.html
works for me, however note that Manuel Bouyer says it will break multi-port boards.
workaround #2:
I did get the de driver working, by hard coding the media type
in /etc/rc.conf. However, I get the impression that the de driver may go
away someday?
