21143-TD problems using .90p

[Eric Seppanen]

OK, I've put close to a week into debugging what's wrong here... I'm 
finally going to ask for help.  Any advice is appreciated.

The problem is that I can use 10Mb just fine but 100Mb doesn't work at all. 
 This is a 21143-TD hooked up to a Level One LXT970 PHY chip, built on to 
the motherboard.  As far as I can tell, everything has been properly 
configured in the 21143 CSRs and the MII registers.  The MII registers 
appear to report that autonegotiation is complete and successfully selected 
100Mbps half-duplex.  CSRs seem to agree.  The PHY chip is lighting both 
the "100Mb" and "Link" LEDs. There are no errors coming from the driver and 
if I configure the interface and ping somebody, the "transmit" light 
blinks.  However, the "receive" LED _never_ blinks, and even worse, the LED 
on the 100Mb hub (Linksys) never comes on.  I've used .90f and .90p.. both 
work on 10Mb, but not 100Mb.  DOS packet drivers work and autodetect 10 or 
100Mb correctly.

Questions:
1.  Is the MII address 17 unusual?  will this cause problems?
2.  Is there a known problem with the -TD and the CSR0 WIE bit?  If so, 
what should I do about it?  I already tried setting
static int csr0 = 0x00000000 | 0x8000;
but that had no effect. (logs below are from an unmodified .90p)
3.  Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for any help.  I'll fall down and kiss the boots of anyone who can 
get this to work.
