Hi
Im an triying to work whit an AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI Rev. B card
, have tried under many kernel-driver conbinations whit diferent error msgs but
same vehaboir, it only works whit autoselect media (options=0) but 
when some trafic is sent trougth the card error msgs come and i only 
can get about 2-3Ks, sometimes nothing at all.
if i do a ifdown eth0, ifup eth0 it works agayn until some data 
(about 1MB) is trasmited and error msgs come agayn.

Here is the info, the machine is a power mac runing kernel 2.4.18:

and error msgs continue until i put it down

i think that N-Way is not working good because the swich is reporting 100MB FDX

i have noted in the card leds (link, FDX, 100MB, ACT) with the tulip 
driver that  the FDX led blinks like the ACT one. it is conected to a 
10/100 swich and it reports 100MB FDX. Under mac/os or windows the 
card leds work normally so i think is a driver problem.

triying now tulip-diag to get more info on whats hapening in the 
card, any help whould be apreciated

Thanks
