Re: DFE 570 TX not working.

Donald,


After I connected the board to another switch, it worked. Either with=20
stock 2.4.23 kernel's driver or with yours, version "tulip.c:v0.97=20
7/22/2003".

The bad switch isn't broken, i.e. I have several connections on it=20
without any problem. The previous network card on this machine - a=20
Realtek 8139 - worked without problems on this switch also.

Said all this I ask, do you still would like to continue the diagnosis=20
process? I can send all the info you need, and I would like to help, but=20
as the main problem is solved and it doesn't looks like a driver related=20
matter, I'm not sure you want to keep spending time on this matter.


Thanks again for your time, patience and attention,

Rodrigo Severo
