Problems with 3c905C and a 10baseT only network.

Hi,

I'm experiencing severe packet loss (receiver detects frame errors) when 
using my Dell Inspiron 8200 with an integrated 3Com 3c905C (device id 
0x9200) card on a 10baseT network.

You might say that the problem is in the hub/switch (and I would 
normally agree since I have no problems with 100baseTx networks), but I 
managed to make it work in Windows XP when I upgraded to the latest 
driver from 3com (the original XP driver had the same problem). The 
driver details from the working XP driver is :

Driver Provider:	3Com
Driver Date:		4/5/2002
Driver Version:		4.26.0.0


In Linux, I'm currently using Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.8-1.521, 3c59x 
driver version is LK1.1.19, 10 Nov 2002.

Any ideas where to start looking ?

If someone have programming datasheets on the 3c905C chip I would be 
more than happy to debug this problem myself.

Best regards,
Steffen Persvold
