The Compaq 5686 has a partial implementation of the 21143 chip on the
system board. Apparently there is no MII tranciever and is capable of
10baseT only. I cannot get the tulip driver in any of it's versions to
work. I tried different options when loading the module, but the only
one to get the active led to light is autosense. Ifconfig shows a valid
NIC address, IRQ, and IO address. No link led with a known good net
connection. Am I doomed with this chip?
