What if the driver gets the MII registers address wrong ?
My Tornado cards produce the init sequence containing:

MII transceiver found at address 24, status 782d.

>From what I've seen in the previous message, the init sequence finds 2
transceivers, at address 1 and 2, which I find a little strange.
So, can you try running 'mii-diag -p 24 eth1' ? The output of your
'mii-diag eth1' looks exactly like mine when I specify an invalid address
for the MII transceiver...

Another (bad) ideea: can you try to run the DOS diagnostic program from
3Com ?
