smc9432btx problems

[Michael Stumpf]

Hi,

linux  : 2.2.14
driver : 1.07h

I have problems with the epic100 device driver.

I have a SMC9432BTX-Card (BNC & TP) which is connected via TP 
to a 10 Mbit Hub. (Hardware is ok)

It can't send or receive packets.

Pings to the local ip-address are working, routing is set up correctly.

dmesg output follows :

If it is connected to a 100 MBit Switch it doesn't produce 
these TX errors, but it's not working either.
(It correctly changes to 100Mbit and FullDuplex, but no 
packets will transmit)

any solution available ?
