Subject: Current tulip driver from 2.4.5 is plain broken
Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 17:16:47 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010528171647.D12494@mail.harddata.com> (raw)
I mentioned that before but this should be stated clearly. As far as I
am concerned "Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre2 (May 16, 2001)",
as used in 2.4.5 - and other kernels - is totally buggered. It comes up,
and ethernet interfaces can be configured, but does not matter how I am
playing with options I cannot get a single packet through.
Replacing it in 2.4.5 with "Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.14d (April 3,
2001)", which I have handy, restores sanity immediately and a network
simply works without any heroic efforts.
My NIC is "Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 65 at 0x8800". BTW - a version
"tulip-1.1.7" from sourceforge behaves exactly like 0.9.15-pre2.
This is an output of 'tulip-diag -af' from a working setup:

Index #1: Found a Digital DS21143 Tulip adapter at 0x8800.
Digital DS21143 Tulip chip registers at 0x8800:
0x00: f8a0e000 ffffffff ffffffff 0d572000 0d572200 f0660000 b2422002 fbfffbff
0x40: e0000000 fff583ff ffffffff 00000000 000052ca ffff0001 fffbffff 8ffd0008
Port selection is 10mpbs-serial, half-duplex.
Transmit started, Receive started, half-duplex.
The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
The transmit threshold is 72.
The NWay status register is 000052ca.
Internal autonegotiation state is 'Negotiation complete'.
And this what shows up when I am trying to use "the-new-and-improved":
