Problems with Adaptec 10/100 cards

Wed Feb 3 13:03:07 1999

		Hello all,

	I'm the adm. of a university lab. All the microcomputers in this lab
have Adaptec ANA 6911A/TX PCI Fast Ethernet cards based on the DEC 21143
processor. I'm trying to configure the cards in the linux kernel 2.0.35.
When the systems start up, the tulip driver (tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98
becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov) probes but can't initialize the cards
properly.

	The output of the kernel module is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Digital DS21143 Tulip at 0x6500, 00 00 d1 1b 3c bc, IRQ 10.
eth0:  EEPROM default media type Autosense.
eth0:  Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21142 MII PHY (3)
block.
eth0:  Index #1 - Media 10base2 (#1) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2)
block
eth0:  MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7849 advertising 0101.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

and the tulip-diag diagnose program (tulip-diag -f -a -e -e -m -m) shows
the following:

	What should I do to fix this problem ? Does the actual version of the
card suport this card. The cards are jumperless and I can't substitute
them (they are not mine).

	Thank you very much.
