Turns out the upstream maintainer of the tulip driver is very efficient.
The official version of the driver already contains a fix for this bug.
It can be found at ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/tulip.c. The last
modification date is quite recent. So the next patchlevel release of
Linux should pick up the new version of the driver. And the next release
of OSKit will get it from there.
