Primarily to confuse and obfuscate (their home page doesn't mention 
which chip or where to get technical specification...it would be nice
if they supported linux ;-)  [After all, they support sco].


Here's the output of mii:

mii-diag.c:v1.04 12/17/98  Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
 MII PHY #32 transceiver registers:
   1000 7809 0000 0000 05e1 0000 0000 0000
   0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
   0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
   0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000.
 Basic mode control register 0x1000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 Basic mode status register 0x7809 ... 7809.
   Link status: not established.
   This transceiver is capable of  100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT.
   Able to perform Auto-negotiation, negotiation not complete.
 Your link partner is strange, status 0000.

Do you also want to see the output of rtl8139-diag.c?  (note, the driver
can read the hard ethernet address...I'm using 'tcpdump ether host' on another
machine, and I'm not seeing any dhcp traffic on the ethernet (it times out
in dhcp).

Here's the output of /proc/pci
PCI devices found:

....

    Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16).
      Vendor id=1113. Device id=1211.
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 255.  Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
      I/O at 0xf480.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfedfe800.
  Bus  0, device   9, function  0:

...

Note, win98 says I/O at 0x1400.
I tried them both, no luck...
I suppose DEvice id is the 1211 board they talk about (and they use
they're 1211 driver)


Thanx...
