Macronix MX98715 can't be set to 100baseTx-HD with tulip-driver?

[Carsten Cimander]

Hi all,

My question:
   How to set Macronix MX98715 NIC to HalfDuplex mode with 100MBit?

My config:
I use a Macronix MX98715 NIC on my linux box (kernel 2.2.10) with
Donald Becker's tulip.c driver :
  tulip.c:v0.91g 7/16/99 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov

I have it connected via a 10/100MBit Hub (AutoSense per port) to another
box
(with a 3Com 3C905B-TX 10/100MBit).

As I read in the newsgroup here, I have to set the Macronix NIC to
HalfDuplex to work
fine with the Hub. ( I experience severe problems trying to receive a
file
from the
Macronix-box via http if it is bigger than 10kb.)

I compiled a new kernel with the tulip-driver as a Module and set the
parameters
in /etc/conf.modules:

****

alias eth0 tulip
alias eth0:1 tulip

--- snipp

options tulip      options=3 debug=2

--- snipp
******

After shutdown -r now I ran tulip-diag which showed:

 Port selection is 10mpbs-serial 100baseTx scrambler, full-duplex.
 Transmit started, Receive started, full-duplex.
  The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
  The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
  The transmit threshold is 72.
EEPROM size is 6.
 A simplifed EEPROM data table was found.
 The EEPROM does not contain transceiver control information.

I really don't want to accuse Donald Becker of anything, I'm glad we
have
this
super guy around here!!!

But could anybody give me the correct options to use?

Many thanks in advance
