Yupeee! Works like a champ.
It would be nice to see it commited as it fixes the problem.
The only thing remaining is that the card is reported as
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B (which used to have i82557),
but it's a card with i82559.
This can be detected by reading the revision code of
integrated PHY (registers 2 and 3) through MDI in CSR space
(pg. 87 in i82559 datasheet or pg. 67 for i82559ER).
The value is different for i82558 and i82559[ER].
It is 0x02A8:0150 for i82558 and 0x02A8:0154 for both 82559
and i82559ER.
Do you plan to change/improve the card/chipset
reporting mechanism?
Thanks a lot!
Milon
