Tulip and eepro100 problems

[Jasper Jans]

Hi all,

First of all.. please include [e-mail] in your
replies since my regular mail account in which I get the list mails
is not functional at the moment.

I've just installed a fresh linux system.
Default Mandrake 8.0 kernel (2.4.3-20mdksmp) and the plain vanilla
2.4.5 kernel both give me this same behaviour.

LNE100TX card in my system gets initialized just fine - however no
matter what I do it will not send any data. Not if I run it via a
10 Mbit hub neither via a cross cable at 100 Mbit.
At the other side there is a LNE100TX card in a Win2k Pro system.

There is an Intel onboard card in this system as well using the
eepro100 driver. This card seems to function fine when used via
the 10 Mbit hub - however once I connect it via a cross cable and
it switches from 10 Mbit half duplex to 100 Mbit full duplex it
stops responding completely as well.

I've seen some emails in the archives about the tulip driver being
broken for some people - however the mails I saw mentioned 2.4.4
and above. I've tried both the 2.4.5 vanilla and the mandrake
2.4.3-20 (both compiled with smp support).

The log file shows:

Anyone any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks,
