D-Link DFE-660TX trouble

[Stefan Erben]

I have a Acer TravelMate 513T with a D-Link DFE-660TX PCMCIA 10/100MBit
ethernet card. After installing kernel 2.2.14 and pcmcia-3.1.8 the card is not
able to transmit packets. It is able to receive packets although.

The kernel log states "eth0: TX hung: 11 vs. 0", ifconfig shows a slow but
steady increasy in TX errors.

Yes, I used the 2.2.14 kernel tulip.c with the pcmcia-sources to build a leter
revision as well.

I'm not on the list right now, so please cc any answers, patches or questions
to stefan@erben.com. Thanks.

cu, Stefan
