Miata - 21143 not getting link?

[jpranevich@lycos.com]

Hello,

What do you mean? I'm not entirely sure of the local network layout. (Hubs,
etc.) Unfortunately, it's not really my forte. If you tell me what you need to
know, I can get the information for you.

What I know is that the network is 100baseT at all the hubs, those were all just
upgraded last month. I don't know if the card is 100baseT, it may not be, but I
do know that Digital UNIX works with the same hardware but I can't reinstall DUX
in order to get any information. I can provide any network information that can
be provided from another Linux machine on the same network, (my Intel
workstation) but it's not using tulip hardware. I may not be using the right
terminology here, but I believe that I am.

My exact option line is "options tulip debug=6" I did not specify an options
parameter (for this log anyway) so this should be what was autodetected.

Please let me know if there is any more information that I can get you. I can
rerun tulip-diags with more verbosity, etc.

Joe

What are you trying to connect to?

Curious -- this is advertising 10baseT (both half and full duplex) only.
Did you force a media type?
