[eepro100] problems with Supermicro P4DCE and intel 82259

[Esteban Moro]

	Hi all.
	I am sorry if this question is already answered, but I have been 
browsing through the list and haven't found an answer to my problem yet. 
    I have succesfully installed SuSE 8.1 Professional in my new machine 
excepting the ethernet conection. My computer is based on a SUPERMICRO 
P4DCE+ motherboard with 2 Xeon IV processors. It includes the Intel 
82559 EtherExpreessPro100 adapter. I have been unsuccesful so far to 
connect to the internet although the installation detected the card 
(Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+ Server Adapter (PILA8470B).
    It seems to be using the module e100, which I recompiled again using 
the last update from intel. Here is the output of some diagnostic 
utilities and kernel mssg.


dmesg

Index #1: Found a Intel i82557/8/9 EtherExpressPro100 adapter at 0xa000.
i82557 chip registers at 0xa000:
   0000f048 02b4a5b0 00000000 00080002 1821782d 000005b0
   Interrupt sources are pending.
    The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
    The receive unit state is 'No Resources'.
   This status is unusual for an activated interface.
EEPROM contents, size 64x16:

   0x38: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 945c
  The EEPROM checksum is correct.

Basic registers of MII PHY #1:  3000 782d 02a8 0154 05e1 0021 0000 0000.
  Basic mode control register 0x3000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
  You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
  Your link partner is generating 10baseT link beat  (no autonegotiation).
