"Ummm...."
My guess is that the SRM isn't going to know squat about a non-Tulip
ethernet card... If the driver is "ep", then it's a 3Com Etherlink III
of some sort.
Ari - please run the following command:
ifconfig -am
...you will see output similar to the following:

Also, please post the output of "dmesg" after a fresh boot.
