Hi,
I'd two machines at home and I'm unable to get them working both on
linux.
There configuration are:
$ mii-diag
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #32: 0100 780d 0000 0000 05e1 0000 0000
0000.
Basic mode control register 0x0100: Auto-negotiation disabled, with
Speed fixed at 10 mbps, full-duplex.
You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
Your link partner is strange, status 0000.
[CAVERN - 10.0.0.2]
$ ifconfig eth0

Every time I try to ping to cavern machine I get on console:
eth0: Trasmit timeout, status 0d 0000 media 08.
eth0: Tx queue start entry 5 dirty entry 1.
Meanwhile, for example, if I reboot the cavern machine and start windows
NT and after that reboot
stormy machine, I'm able to work with both with no problem:
[STORMY - 10.0.0.1]
$ mii-diag
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #32: 1100 782d 0000 0000 05e1 4441 0001
0000.
Basic mode control register 0x1100: Auto-negotiation enabled.
You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
Your link partner can do 4441: Flow-control 10baseT-FD.
If the machine running NT is rebooted and starts running linux, I'm able
to get RTL8139 working on both machines
running linux.
It seems windows NT configure Flow-control and linux don't do that.
How can I resolve that ?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Nuno Carvalho
