.90z doesn't fix my Kingston

[Steve Madsen]

I'm starting to feel like a broken record here.. :-)  .90z is still not
quite there for my Kingston NIC.  According to their web page
(http://www.kingston.com/tech/linux_110.htm), the chip on this card is
equivalent to the PNIC 82c168 (a clone of a clone of a Tulip?).

I'm trying to run this in 10baseT, half-duplex mode.  I'd love to try
debugging this myself, but I really have no idea where to start.

The driver reports:

  * An old-style EEPROM layout was found.
  * The old-style layout does not contain transceiver control information.
  * This board may not work, or may work only with a subset of transceiver
  * options or data rates.
 ***WARNING***: No MII transceivers found!
