Hi folks,
I got a ethercard with a DECchip 21140. I am using kernel 2.4.8, tulip
driver 0.9.15-pre6 (July 2, 2001). As my linux-box is connected to a
10/100Mbps dual-speed hub/switch (namely D-Link DFE-905DX) and the "10M"
indicator is active, I want to force media-type to 100baseTx.
The driver is compiled into the kernel, so I used
append="ether=0,0,3,eth0" in /etc/lilo.conf (according to the
tulip-driver-documentation.
Well, actually this doesn't seem to work ... here my logs:
/var/log/dmesg:

Index #1: Found a Digital DS21140 Tulip adapter at 0x6200.
Port selection is 10mpbs-serial, half-duplex.
Transmit started, Receive started, half-duplex.
The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
The transmit threshold is 72.
Use '-a' or '-aa' to show device registers,
'-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,
or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.
Thanks for any hints!
