It only works at 10 Mbps. More precisely by using etheral on another box I see the frames it is sending but it seems unable to catch the replies. If I configure it to transmit at 10 Mbps then it works. It happens both with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The computer with the Davicom card is linked to the network through a switch. The particualr cable and switch's port have worked perfectly with other cards. Same thing for the network config; Could be a thing about failing negotiation with the switch (as I saids the switch has worked perfectly with other cards). Now the question is if negotiation is a hardware thing and there is nothing to be done or a driver thing and then it should be fixed I have tried to link the card directly to another computer through a crossed cable. It worked but I haven't checked at what speed the cards agreed to work. I have tried the card in several computers: K6 with VIA chipset, PIII with VIA chipset, P4 with Intel chipset. Same results everywhere: card doesn't work at 100 Mbps only at 10 Mbps
