Hi there,

hope this is the right forum for my question.
I freshly installed Linux 2.2.10 on a used PC.
I'm using a AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI card.

When starting up with the tulip module I receive
---
tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Digital DS21140 Tulip at 0xe800, 00 00 94 75 75 64, IRQ 11.
eth0: Old format EEPROM on 'Asante' board. Using substitue media control info.
eth0:  EEPROM default media type Autosense.
eth0:  Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21140 MII PHY (1) block.
etho: ***WARNING***: No MII transceiver found!
  PCI latency timer (CFLT) is unreasonably low at 0. Setting to 64 clocks.
eth0:  Advertising 01e1 on PHY 0 (1).
---

I tried all possible "options=<1...15" settings in /etc/conf.modules
but without success.

I get a connection with the same cable with a different machine.
The Switch port uses 100MBit/s, Full-Duplex, twisted pair.
"ifconfig" shows proper values.

Can somebody please help me?


Regards
