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

Wed Feb 20 16:04:01 2002

I ran the modified vortex-diag on gorf with no ill effects.
So I tried it on Athenaphobia.  Alas, it is confused now.
It thinks there is no trouble with the MII, but the network does NOT
come up.  (This is similar in symptom to what I experienced with the
3c90x-102 driver.)

I get no bits transferred no whether I use 1.16 or 1.17!

Here are before and after vortex-diag -a -v outputs.

I thought I was completely dead in the water, because the floppy drive
apparently is broken on this machine too.  But on a whim, I unplugged
and re-plugged the ethernet cable, and the network came back.

I enclose the vortex-diag -a -v output after replugging as well.
