kne100tx problems

[andre azaroff]

 I am currently having some problems with a kingston KNE100TX ethernet card. my
system is running red-hat 5.1 on o TYAN 1564D Tomcat IV motherboard with an
award v4.51PG BIOS and neither the stock tulip (0.87 i think nor the latest 
tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 work from the diag tools all appears to be OK.  once
the interface is up nothing comes in or goes out. The link indicator for
the port shows an active link but the activity indicator on my hub (allied
telesyn MR815T) wont even blip when i try to ping another computer. the ping
responds network unreachable and if i ping this box from another computer the
packets timeout with no response.

here are the outputs:
here is the list of pci devices (cat /proc/pci)

PCI devices found:

here is the output from the log file from insmod tulip.o

tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0x6400, c0 00 2c f0 2e 1c, IRQ 10.
eth0:  MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 782d advertising 01e1.
eth0: The transmitter stopped!  CSR5 is 2068012, CSR6 816e0002.
eth0: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 816e0000.

the above message is produced with all other options except:
insmod tulip.o options=12 (which produced th following)

tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0x6400, c0 00 2c f0 2e 1c, IRQ 10.
eth0:  MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 782d advertising 01e1.

ifconfig produces the following output:

the tulip-diag program provided would not run at all unless i specified the
address of the card.
and finally the output of tulip-diag -p 0x6400 -aem
