[eepro100] Intel 82562ET EEPRO/100 freezing problems

[David Lambert]

I had exactly the same problems. Someone on this group earlier pointed me 
to a diagnostic at:

ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/eepro100-diag.c

After running this and using it to set some bits in the EEPROM, I have had no 
problems at any speed.

HTH
