Problems with an eepro100

In my opinion automatic duplex detection ALWAYS fails to work.

Force your switch and force the eepro to your desired settings.

Consult http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html for the
settings.  Here is a summary:

 Hex   Decimal  Meaning
 0x10  16       Force Full-Duplex operation (must be used with 0x20 or
0x40)
 0x20  32       Force 100mbps-only operation
 0x40  64       Force 10mbps-only

EXAMPLE: for Full-Duplex 100mbs with only one ehternet card you'd use the
following options:

insmod eepro100 options=0x30 multicast_filter_limit=3
