[tulip] Linksys LNE100TX version 4.0 (more information)

[Jon Schewe]

Ok.  I've done a little bit of testing here to see how I can get this card to
work.  I'm trying to connect it to a Linksys 10/100 switch.  Linux can find
the card, but the activity light blinks like mad and Linux complains about
Recieve errors.  So apparently the tulip driver under Linux isn't working
quite right with the autonegotion, a known problem.  I can't figure out how to
force the card to 100 full duplex, so I'm trying the card in other systems.
The card works fine in Windows 95, which probably isn't very helpful here.
However I do have FreeBSD 3.2 up on a system as well and the card happens to
work fine with it.  Since Linux and FreeBSD are both open source I don't
suppose someone that knows more about the driver internals than me, should be
most everyone, could look at the FreeBSD driver and figure out what's wrong
with the Linux one.  It's using the "DEC/Intel 21143 (and clones) PCI fast
ethernet card" driver, according to the setup program.
