[eepro100] Next Problem with eepro100

[Eric Fikus]

This is the ouput of 'eepro100-diag -Dvvfmaaee' after a wait_for_cmd_done timeout message:

eepro100-diag.c:v2.02 7/19/2000 Donald Becker (becker@scyld.com)

Index #1: Found a Intel i82562 EEPro100 adapter at 0xdf00.
i82557 chip registers at 0xdf00:
  0cf00050 00fe0000 00000000 00080002 18250000 00000600
  No interrupt sources are pending.
   The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
   The receive unit state is 'Ready'.
  This status is normal for an activated but idle interface.
 The Command register has an unprocessed command 0cf0(?!).
EEPROM size probe returned 0xff80c03, 6 bit address.
EEPROM contents, size 64x16:
    00: 0300 3e47 518c 1a03 0000 0201 4701 0000
  0x08: 0000 0000 49b2 3013 8086 007f ffff ffff
  0x10: ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  0x18: ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  0x20: ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  0x28: ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  0x30: 0000 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  0x38: ffff ffff ffff 0000 ffff ffff ffff ca47
 The EEPROM checksum is correct.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
  Station address 00:03:47:3E:8C:51.
  Board assembly 000000-000, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
