[eepro100] HELP: eepro100: cmd_wait for(0xffffff90) timedout with(0xffffff90)!

[Nick Foley]

The driver is an Eepro100. This is the dmegs info:

eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html
eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.20.2.10 $ 2000/05/31 Modified by Andrey V.
Savochkin <saw@saw.sw.com.sg> and others


I read somewhere on deja that the intel e100 driver might be better than
the eepro100 driver. Any experience with it?

The ethernet controller somehow got into a strange state where it no
longer 
communicates or even updates its registers.  I don't know what the
numbers 
0xffffff90 and 0x10 mean.  Do you know which driver and what version are
you 
using?
