Last night, I tried 0.91e on my Celebris GL6200 boxes which came with an
on-board 21142 based interface only allowing for 10 Mb/s. The boxes are
running kernel 2.0.35 (RedHat 5.1). 0.91e is the first driver I tried that
seems to get media detection and autonegotiation right. Here is the short
story:

   0.79   works with "options=12" only
   0.89   "device or resource busy" on insmod
   0.91   works with "options=12" only
   0.91e  works without any options

Cheers,

Helge
