I have a 4-port NIC with 82559ER chipsets, and it does not
auto-negotiate using the standard RH 9 kernel or the 2.4.25
kernel.  The debug info comes from the eepro100 in the 2.4.25
kernel:
version: v1.09j-t 9/29/99,
Revision 1.36 2000/11/17

The problem exists with both the eepro100 and the e100
driver.  For the e100 driver, I noticed that the Phy-ID
0x15402a8 is not in their standard list of #defines, so that
may be part of the problem.

It appears the eepro100 gets all zeros when reading the
eeprom and/or phy, so it thinks the NICs are set to 10bt-HD,
though it won't train up even at that rate.

For the e100, at least, forcing the ports to 100bt-FD works
fine.

I don't yet know who made this board, the only identifying mark
I see is "PTI-2141", and google does not find it.  It also has
a big chip on it labled "Firewall".

The output of eepro100-diag is attached.  The first two
NICs work, the last 4 are the ones with problems.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,
Ben
