There is yet another thing about Netra/X1, and V100 too i guess, the dmfe.ko didn't work on Netra/X1, so i fixed the hwdata pointing to tulip for these PCI-ids. This was a must for hardware _i_ did have available for testing, but for some cases the dmfe might even work (don't really know :)

Back when I had an X1, I ran into some odd issues with the 2.6 tulip driver hanging the machine for periods of time (on the console there would be continuously scrolling errors regarding a SABRE DMA problem). Sometimes the box would recover, and sometimes not. But my X1 produced this problem frequently, at least twice a week.
