[tulip] XYNX 346Q and tulip 1.1.8 (kernel 2.4) still broken.

I just tried updating to the latest 1.1.8 tulip driver from
sourceforge, and it still does not work with the ZYNX 346Q card.

The symptoms remain the same:
It says it's in auto-negotiate mode, and running 100bt-FD, but
it gets collisions.

It cannot be set to any fixed speed via the mii-diag calls.

The switch it is connected to sees it has 100bt-FD, btw.

Some data can pass, but there are massive amounts of collisions and
carrier errors.

Driver loading info, tulip-diag output, mii-diag output (and failed
attempt to set the speed to fixed) is found below here.

Thanks,
Ben
