SMC EtherPower II 10/100 [again]

[Martin Krumpolec]

Dobry den,

  Snazil som sa rozbehat kernel 2.2.10 na SMC EtherPower II karte, ale
  ani dve hodiny zufaleho zapasu neviedli k rozumnym vysledkom ...
  (ta ista karta na tom istom pocitaci s winNT 4.0 SP5 beha v pohode
  v autonegotiate mode ...)

  Automaticky prepoklad bol, ze karta sa nevie dohodnut so switchom,
  preto som sa jej pomocou mii-diag.c snazil nanutit pevny typ media,
  ale neuspesne. Typ media (rezim) som sa snazil nanutit aj pomocou 
  parametrov modulu, ale zase neuspech ...

  Zaujimave je, ze na zaciatku hlasi (pri pokuse o vyjednani media):

 Basic mode control register 0x1000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
   This transceiver is capable of  100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT.
   Able to perform Auto-negotiation, negotiation complete.
 Your link partner is generating 10baseT link beat.

  Ale aj tak sa nedohodne ...

 Basic mode control register 0x1000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 Basic mode status register 0x782d ... 782d.
   Link status: established.
   Capable of  100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT.
   Able to perform Auto-negotiation, negotiation complete.
 Vendor ID is 00:60:51:--:--:--, model 0 rev. 1.
   Vendor/Part: Quality Semiconductor (unknown type).
 I'm advertising 01e1: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT
   Advertising no additional info pages.
   IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD protocol.
 Link partner capability is 0021: 10baseT.
   Negotiation did not complete.

  Ked jej nanutim priamo mod switchu (0021), tak sice povie OK, ale
  vsetky RX pakety koncia error/dropped ...

  Skusal som viacere verzie epic100.c, ale bez uspechu .. Urcite viem, ze
  linux na tej karte chodi, asi pred rokom mi to behalo, ale za svet si
  neviem spomenut s cim a ako som to rozbehal :))

  Preto prosim nejakeho sietoveho guru *wink*, aby mi skusil poradit,
  na poziadanie dodam akekolvek vypisy (mii-diag, epic-diag, ifconfig ...)

Vopred dakuje zufaly

Martin
