Davicom Tulip 'net card in Etch

[Red Knuckles]

I am very new to Debian, just installed Etch yesterday. I have the Davicom Tulip Ethernet Card. It uses one of 2 drivers tulip and dmfe. Debian loads tulip by default which doesn't work. To fix manually you run:

#rmmod tulip
#rmmod dmfe
#modprobe dmfe

And you have a net connection. How do I make this permenant in Debian? I've tried adding 'dmfe' to /etc/modules, adding blacklist 'tulip' to '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' and '/etc/hotplug/blacklist', and adding this script to '/etc/rcS.d/S40networking':

ifdown eth0
rmmod dmfe
rmmod tulip
modprobe dmfe
ifup eth0

but I still have no net connection when I reboot untill I do the manual fix. How to correct?
