[3c509] 3c905B at 100baseTX FULL DUPLEX

[Marcos Monge]

Hi

I have a 3c590B with kernel 2.2.18 (3c59x driver from 16Aug00). The
driver is static in kernel, NOT module.

I *NEED* to force the nic to 100baseTX at FULL DUPLEX without
autonegotation.

The documentation said that with appending this to lilo will work:

append "ether=0,0,0x204,eth0"

But with this, the card operate at 100baseTX *HALF* DUPLEX.

Other settings (0x200, 0x208) don't work.

Any idea?

This is the output of "vortex-diag -a":
