[Eric Christian Berg]

I've done a tulip-diag -m and got:

tulip-diag.c:v1.19 10/2/99 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Index #1: Found a Digital DS21143 Tulip adapter at 0xdc80.
 Port selection is 100mbps-SYM/PCS 100baseTx scrambler, full-duplex.
 Transmit started, Receive started, full-duplex.
  The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
  The Tx process state is 'Idle'.
  The transmit threshold is 128.
  The NWay status register is 45e1d2cc.
   No MII transceivers found!
  Internal autonegotiation state is 'Negotiation complete'.

Just to add to the information below.

I was previously running Red Hat 6.0 with a 2.2.9 kernel without a
problem. My output for eth0 detection was such:

Last night I upgraded to Red Hat 6.1, which ships with the 2.2.12-20
kernel. The network install worked fine, but when I booted up I got:

Oct 11 18:27:34 samedi kernel: tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98
becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
Oct 11 18:27:34 samedi kernel: eth0: Digital DS21142/3 Tulip at 0xdc80,
EEPROM not present, 00 4c 69 6e 75 79, IRQ 0. 
Oct 11 18:27:34 samedi kernel: eth0: Old style EEPROM -- no media
selection information. 

I attempted to resolve the problem by switching the driver back to the
version I had with 2.2.9 (the diffs showed a few minor changes) but got
the same result. So, I went to the site and got the newest driver and got
similar results:

Oct 12 13:23:27 samedi kernel: tulip.c:v0.91g 7/16/99
becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov

0801fbff, SIA 7fffffff 00000001 7fffccff fcc00008, resetting... 

Note that I am able to boot to the old 2.2.9 kernel still without a
problem. I have also had Plug and Play turned off in the BIOS the whole
time. 

Any thoughts?
