New version of eepro100-diag.c (ref: IBM 82559 board)

Mon Jun 28 09:56:42 1999

Over the weekend, we looked at the updated diag code and saw what we thought
might have been the reason that we were getting all x'ffff's.  It appeared that
it was using an address of "pciaddr0" instead of "pciaddr1".  We changed it and
recompiled and it now shows the output similar to the previous ones where the
macaddr is incorrect:

eepro100-diag.c:v0.08 6/25/99 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Index #1: Found a Intel 82557 EtherExpressPro100B adapter at 0x7c40.
EEPROM address size probe returns 0xffe0400.
EEPROM contents:
  8100 8000 9ca6 8405 8000 8000 8000 8000
  8000 8000 8000 8000 808a 8000 8000 8000
  8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000
  8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000
  8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000

  8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000 8000
 The EEPROM checksum (should be 0xbaba) is 0x2235.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 00:81:00:80:A6:9C.
  Receiver lock-up bug exists. (The driver work-around *is* implemented.)
  Board assembly 800080-000, Physical connectors present:
  Primary interface chip None PHY #-1.

We also tried it with the old adapter that has always worked (85558 based IBM
EtherJet with WOL) and it still works with that one.

Thanks,

I've added code to  eepro100-diag.c  so that we may track this problem down.
  ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/diag/eepro100-diag.c
   http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/diag/index.html

(Actually, I did a major restructuring, udpated it to work better with
2.2.* kernels, etc.)

Please run
  eepro100-diag -ee
and report what the line
     printf("EEPROM address size probe returns %#x.\n", ee_addr_size);
outputs.
