Like this patch:

http://librarian.launchpad.net/3009951/tulip_patch.diff

Which was applied as of linux-source-2.6.15 (2.6.15-24.40):

  * Disable davicom usage in tulip driver to let dmfe module takeover.
    - Malone #48287

If your security repository is enabled, the latest kernel (which is -26 atm)
will be fixed for you.

Hopefully this problem is well and truly fixed now! :)
