I'm having problems configuring the 3c905b Cyclone card for 100base-TX.
I am running RedHat Linux 5.2 on a 486DX-100 with three network cards:
eth0: 3c59x (Vortex) card, 10bT, using the 3c59x drive
eth1: 3c905b (Cyclone) card, 100b-TX, using the 3c59x driver
eth2: DEC DC21041, 10Mb/s, using the tulip driver
The Cyclone is plugged into a LinkSys 10/100 5-port hub, and services
Pentium/PII Win95 machines which also have 3c905b's. The Vortex is a
combo card and services a 10base-2 segment. The DEC plugs into a cable
modem. The 3c59x driver version 0.99H is compiled into the kernel.
Description of attachmets follow:
The following files contain general system information:
ioports
pci
- The card is set for 100b-TX by default. Changing the card's default
link setting affects the options=3,10 setting.
The following files contain relevant information with the 3c59x
options=3,10 (i.e. eth0=Vortex=10base-2, eth1=Cyclone=default)
3-10-coldboot.startup
3-10-coldboot.ifconfig
3-10-coldboot.mii
3-10-coldboot.vortex
- Note the line "SIOADDRT: Invalid argument." This line appears on
startup IN EVERY CONFIGURATION, when eth1 is enabled. It does not
appear in the system log.
- Data is corrupted (a few bytes/MB) when receiving large streams on
eth1.
- Appears to configure as 10b-T, but auto-sensing hub detects 100b-TX
link.
The following files contain relevant information with the 3c59x
options=3,4 (i.e. eth0=Vortex=10base-2, eth1=Cyclone=100base-TX)
3-4-coldboot.startup
3-4-coldboot.ifconfig
3-4-coldboot.mii
3-4-coldboot.vortex
- On startup, the autosensing hub detects 100b-TX, but when the driver
tries to override to 100b-TX, the link light goes out, then is
downgraded to 10b-T.

Parsing the EEPROM of a 3Com Vortex/Boomerang:
3Com Node Address 00:10:5A:E5:C0:EB (used as a unique ID only).
OEM Station address 00:10:5A:E5:C0:EB (used as the ethernet address).
Manufacture date (MM/DD/YY) 11/25/98, division 6, product QP.
Options: .
Vortex checksum is cc (vs. 10b7),Cyclone checksum is a4 (vs. a4).
Found a 3Com PCI Ethernet 3c590 rev 0 at 0xff80.
The Vortex chip may be active, so FIFO registers will not be read.
To see all register values use the '-f' flag.
