Problem with Compaq notebook 21143 again

[Annius Groenink]

Two days ago I sent a quick "help me" to the other Tulip list,
without much additional information.

My chip is a DEC 21143, and while the line beat seems to be fine after
the tulip driver detects the NIC, as soon as "ifconfig" is run, a light
starts blinking on my hub indicating that something is wrong.  The hub
is a small 3COM 10/100.

I tried to pass various options to the driver (V0.89 built into
a standard kernel), but while they have influence on the output of
"tulip-diag" (3 digits in the registers show up different), after
ifconfig is run the output of "tulip-diag" is always identical.

Are there any EEPROM programming floppy disks like 3COM has for the
3C905 chips, so I can hard-wire the media type and such? Compaq and DEC
do not seem to have any of that available on their web sites.
