Hi all, First of all.. please include [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your replies since my regular mail account in which I get the list mails is not functional at the moment. I've just installed a fresh linux system. Default Mandrake 8.0 kernel (2.4.3-20mdksmp) and the plain vanilla 2.4.5 kernel both give me this same behaviour. LNE100TX card in my system gets initialized just fine - however no matter what I do it will not send any data. Not if I run it via a 10 Mbit hub neither via a cross cable at 100 Mbit. At the other side there is a LNE100TX card in a Win2k Pro system. There is an Intel onboard card in this system as well using the eepro100 driver. This card seems to function fine when used via the 10 Mbit hub - however once I connect it via a cross cable and it switches from 10 Mbit half duplex to 100 Mbit full duplex it stops responding completely as well. I've seen some emails in the archives about the tulip driver being broken for some people - however the mails I saw mentioned 2.4.4 and above. I've tried both the 2.4.5 vanilla and the mandrake 2.4.3-20 (both compiled with smp support).
