If insmod worked and lsmod lists something, it is possible that the card is working but that other things need to be changed, depending on what you are using the card for (ie. some dhcp setup needs to be completed, or you need to set the ip address.) It is possible that "insmod tulip" would have worked even before compiling the linksys driver - tulip is a generic driver used by many cards, and linksys might have added some linksys specific stuff, but this might not have been necessary. My netgear card comes with a tulip.c file to be compiled and installed, but I have not used it.
Of course, I have never successfully set up an ethernet card manually, and I am going to post a related question right now. Any NIC that I have gotten to work, I have gotten to work during the installation process, and not afterwards.
