<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Sounds bad.<br>
But what exactly does "bit-rotted" mean?<br>
What needs to be done, except making it work with the current networking API, to make it work?<br>
If the driver WORKS, but just needs updating to work with the current API, then I might look into it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">The tulip driver hasn’t been built in years AFAIK… it has bit-rotted pretty heavily, and among other things would need to be updated to work with the current
networking APIs. But if you wanted to take it on, I’m sure a patch would be welcome :) I guess the starting point would be looking at one of the other working drivers.</span></p>

<br>
I'd like to build the tulip driver for bf.<br>
It would seem that bf does not automatically build this, and there is no mention of this in the network readme.<br>
Trying to compile manually results in lots of errors (lots of unknown types).<br>
I'm guessing this driver hasn't been touched in some time? Does it work with an older version of gcc? Should I just try to fix it manually by fixing the errors?</span></p>
