I am using your driver dated 18 Feb 01 from the 2.2.23 kernel.

These are the vortex-diag stats when set to half duplex:

Index #3: Found a 3c905C Tornado 100baseTx adapter at 0xe800.
  Station address 00:04:75:d5:28:ac.
   Receive mode is 0x0f: Promiscuous.
The Vortex chip may be active, so FIFO registers will not be read.
To see all register values use the '-f' flag.
Initial window 7, registers values by window:
   Window 0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 adad 00bf ffff 0000.

   DMA control register is 00000020.
    Tx list starts at 00000000.
    Tx FIFO thresholds: min. burst 256 bytes, priority with 128 bytes to 
empty.
    Rx FIFO thresholds: min. burst 256 bytes, priority with 128 bytes to 
full.
    Poll period Tx 00 ns.,  Rx 0 ns.
    Maximum burst recorded Tx 352,  Rx 32.
  Indication enable is 06c6, interrupt enable is 06ce.
  No interrupt sources are pending.
  Transceiver/media interfaces available:  100baseTx 10baseT.
Transceiver type in use:  Autonegotiate.
  MAC settings: half-duplex.

And these are the stats when set to full duplex:

It would seem that although register values are changed, the tranceiver 
is staying in half duplex.

Many thanks for your input.
