tx-status 00 status 0000 on working 3C905-TX and network -Reply

[JILL SMITH]

Hello, I have a Dell Optiplex G1 PII 266Mhz PC with a 3c905b card.  I also went through hell getting it to work.  I am running Redhat 5.1 kernel 2.0.35 and
v0.99E driver.  I also found that the card MUST be set to Autonegotiate the network speed in order for it to work even with this configuration.  The one
problem I am still seeing, though, is that the following message still shows up upon initialization of the driver: " Warning: No MII transceivers found! ".  I
have had the server up and running for a week now, with no other problems, but this bothers the heck out of me.  Has anyone else seen this before?

....Jill.

What version of the driver are you using? The latest version on
the web page is severely broken. Make sure you're using an
up-to-date kernel, like 2.1.122 or 2.0.35. The version you want
is 0.99E, not 0.99F.
