DFE-570TX (21143) won't do 10BaseT w/10bT hub

[Craig Metz]

  I have a DFE-570TX quad-21143 board, which several people seem to be having
trouble with, and a Boca 10BaseT hub. Under BSD/OS, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
FreeBSD, the board will correctly autodetect that it's running 10BaseT and
works fine, so there's no reason it can't work. Under Linux, with both the
tulip and the de4x5 drivers, it doesn't correctly autodetect the speed, and
attempts to force the media have not been at all successful.

  Note that the board has four 21143-TDs on it, and "DP83843BV3E" media chips.

  With the 0.89H driver, the board gets detected as having four 21142s on it,
and, when I bring the interface up and try to transmit, the link and collision
lights flash on my hub, pulsing every couple of seconds. I can actually get it
to transmit some, but not much.

  With the 0.91E driver, the board gets detected as having four 21143s on it,
and, when I bring the interface up and try to transmit, the link light flashes
on my hub but not collision, pulsing every couple of seconds. Again, I can
actually get it to transmit some, but not much.

  None of the full_duplex[] or options[] options seem to affect what the board
does in any substantial way.

  I've enclosed an example of what the 0.91E driver spits into the kernel
message buffer; maybe it will say more to you all than it did to me.

  Can anyone suggest how to proceed trying to figure this out?
