 Takashi Manabe and a cast of thousands.
 
+For 2.4.x and later kernels, the Linux Tulip driver is available at

 	This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet adapter interface.
 	It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well as
 	with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and ASIX.
