Hey Guys,
Just wanted to report a problem with the tulip driver. Alexander perhaps
you know more about this...
Anyway, using a livecd built from very recent trunk, it loads the tulip
driver for my network card:
tulip0: EEPROM default media type Autosense.
tulip0: Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21140 MII PHY (1) block.
tulip0: Index #1 - Media 10baseT (#0) described by a 21140 non-MII (0)
block.
tulip0: Index #2 - Media 100baseTx (#3) described by a 21140 non-MII
(0) block.
tulip0: Index #3 - Media 10baseT-FDX (#4) described by a 21140 non-MII
(0) block.
tulip0: Index #4 - Media 100baseTx-FDX (#5) described by a 21140
non-MII (0) block.
tulip0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7809 advertising 01e1.
eth0: Davicom DM9102/DM9102A rev 49 at 0001ec00, 00:80:AD:D0:6A:C4, IRQ 18.
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 45e1.
However, after some time, the card stops working - the network
connection sort of freezes. If I 'rmmod tulip' and then 'modprobe dmfe'
and restart the network, everything works and is stable. So, apparently
dmfe is the correct driver:
dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:09.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
eth0: Davicom DM9102 at pci0000:02:09.0, 00:80:ad:d0:6a:c4, irq 18.
Any ideas on what we should do about this?
