3C905B Cyclone -Reply

[JILL SMITH]

Are you using the v0.99E driver?  What kernel version are you using?  Is the card set to Autonegotiate the speed on the network?  (This is key).   Are
you getting a message "Warning - no MII transceivers found"?  I have been getting that ever since I upgraded to the v0.99E driver even though
everything works fine - I can't understand it and so far nobody else seems to be having this problem!

It looks like I have joined the list of people having trouble with the 
cyclone card. I just got 2 gateway PII's and installed Linux on
'em. For whater reason one machine came with the 3C905B and the other
came with an SMC card (go figure??). The SMC based machine works fine, 
but I can't get the one with the 3C905B to work on the net.

It looks like my symptoms are pretty typical of others I've seen
reported to the list. The OS finds the card and everything looks
good. It can ping itself, but not anyone else. Does anyone have
anything new to suggest??
