I know you are busy but this problem has been with tulip.c since the
beginning, and since I guess my previous plea for help was lost I will
ask again.

Why do I get a gadzillion
eth1: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 816e0000.
eth1: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 812e0000.
eth1: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 816e0000.
eth1: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 812e0000.
all the time I am up and running I get those meesages in the log.

I also have a problem that a simple warm reboot is not sufficent as it
will never sync up after my 3rd reboot.  So, I have to do a cold reboot
and then sometimes follow that with a warm reboot and it is back to 3
warm reboots.
I have two cards and both do this only in Linux  as Windows does not
seem to have this problem.

I was using .91 (something) and fell back to .89h but it doesn't matter
which version I use on the above problems.

Thanks.
