tobiaus:
thanks to you both.

jason: that was awesome! posting this from tc :) now i need to find a table that tells me how you got tulip from the info i posted. i tried $ find /sys/module but none of the things i tried with modprobe there worked on the other cards. so there is probably a topic on the old dsl forum about modprobe, or maybe tldp. this one with tulip is good for now, until i know other nic module names to try. thanks so much. tiny is really cool, i've installed chimera, links, leafpad, and ff3.

As one of the other members pointed out, you can use `lspci -k`

Jason W:
lspci will give info about your cards, and the drivers are located in /lib/modules/2.6.26-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/.  I have a few nc100 cards around, but I forgot the driver it uses even though I often modprobe for tulip (everything I have is either 3c59x or tulip).  If looking at lspci and the module directory does not give you an obvious match, then google what you see in lspci and there is a good chance you will find one of the kernel modules supports it.  In this case, I googled "linux 2.6 nc100" and the second result listed nc100 as supported by tulip. 

EDIT: A faster way to achieve the above is with the 'lspci -i' mentioned by Hats.  Learn something every day.

tobiaus:
thank you both again. actually, i thought lspci was giving me the info that was needed, and jason had a secret i didn't.

no one had mentioned -k yet, that did what i wanted. usually i do linuxcommands --help and i chose the wrong day not to add that. got two boxes running tc now :) and i learned a new trick. (non sequitor, i love the fonts in tc, looking at them as i type.)

FYI, TC 1.0rc4 should remove need for the manual look up
