Hi, I recently bought a new 10/100Mb hub and I have problem running my 3c905B-Tx to 100bTx.
What happens is this: [WinNT, Win98] - All fine, link comes up at 100/full as per EEPROM autoselection. [Linux (Debian potato (Dec 99) with 2.2.13 kernel)] During boot and before modules are loaded, link shows up at 100/full Module 3c59x is loaded, link goes down (fraction of second) Media type is overided (i have options 3c59x options=12 in my /etc/modules.conf) Link comes back up at 10btx/half when trying this with debug=6 in the options, it says something about not finding a link beat at 100b-Tx / full, then 100b-Tx / half as per my recollection of IEEE auto neg it is normal to go down to 10bTx /Half as it is the next step in auto neg. 3c59x is version 0.99H Both machines use 3c905B-Tx card, one is from Q2 1998 the other is on an SMP machine and was bought in Q4 1999. Same problem on both PC. I also tried the 3com 3c90x.c driver (1.0.0) the result is even worse (link goes down and never comes back up). I will be playing with the 3c59x Version 0.99L sometime tonight. Anyone got this solve before??? Thanks Patrick H.
