[vortex] Test results with 3c90xcfg -- I'M CONFUSED!

Tue Feb 19 16:36:00 2002

We created a DOS boot floppy, and tested gorf with 3c90xcfg.
Now I'm more confused than ever, but perhaps you wise folks will
know what to do.

We ran the diag and it said that autonegotiate had set 100Base-T half
duplex.  We spazzed and told it to set autonegotiate and to rewrite the
EEPROM.

AFTER THAT even 1.16 made NO complaints about failure to find the MII. 
I've been unable to make the system unhappy.

PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:0c.0
3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
02:0c.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xdc80. Vers LK1.1.16

Stupid me, I don't have vortex-diag -a -v output from before we wrote
the EEPROMS, but I have enclosed what it says afterwards.

There is vortex-diag -a -v output from a sister machine, tokata, but I
don't know how comparable they are.  For your convenience I've enclosed
vortex-diag -a -v from tokata.

QUESTION:

Before I go destroying my ability to test systems by tickling their
EEPROMS with 3c90xcfg, what do people think this means to the Linux
driver?  Is there something that Dos/Windows 3c920 drivers do to
uninitialized EEPROMs that we need to do under Linux?

NOTE:

I have logs of vortex-diag -a -v and mii-diag -vv after trying to crowbar
gorf into unhappiness.  Would you like to see them?  The registers DO
change a bit, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to interpret them.
