netgear 310TXrevD1 - forced 10baseT media

[Dmitry Veprintsev]

Hi. 

I am in the process of upgrading the network to 100mb, and installed
NetGear 310TX-rev D1 on P75 with 16M ram, kernel 2.2.3 with either 0.89 or
0.91 version of tulip.c 
the card works fine, if connected to 10mbs HUB, but if i connect it to
100/10 DS hub (or directly to the switch), then access from 10mbs laptop is
extrememly slow. The lights on card and HUB report 100 (this is netgear
DS104). 

Now i give up the idea to run it at 100mbps (most probably the motherboard
doesnt support proper bus mastering), but want to force it to use 10mbps.
(modprobe tulip options=9).
the card detects 100mbps anyway, and the command line options do not change
the media choice. but if i  boot with card connected to 10mbps hub, and
then plug it to 100mbps HUB, it still be locked in 10mbps spped and works
fine. 
any suggestions? thanks in advance
