Hi, Andrew,

These two drivers are not for actual DEC hardware. They are in the
tulip folder because they are for hardware whose design was heavily
inspired by the DEC Tulip. uli526x was part of chipsets used on
motherboards new enough to support 64-bit AMD Socket AM3 CPUs, and
dmfe was at least used on PCI cards (I'll have to check where else).
