[tulip] anyone get danpex afp1100 to do fdx?

[Leo Wierzbowski]

Greetings,

If you've gotten the Danpex AFP1100 NIC to do full duplex, please let me
know how.  I'm using tulip v0.92 and no matter what option mix I
specify, the card only does 100Mbs HDX (options 0, with or without 0x200
added, with or without full_duplex=1 specified) or 10mbps-serial (any
other options, including ones that specify 100Mbs).  I have to force
these cards to 100 FDX, since the switches they are attached to do not negotiate.

Tulip reports on boot up:

Index #0 - Media MII 100baseTx (#13) described by a 21140 non-MII (0) block.

Which worries me a bit.  The older model FE1430SC works OK with
options=13 and full_duplex=1.  Tulip reports for the older model:

Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21142 MII PHY (3) block. 

Which seems to make more sense.  Perhaps the new model's EEPROM info is
misleading tulip?  Possibly there is nothing to do but return the NICs
to the vendor?  Or is there some way I can tell tulip to work with this NIC?
