I have problems with this cardbus-card in a 100-mbit network. The card
is
autonegotiating a full-duplex link, however the full-duplex light stays
off
and the link is slow (~330kbyte/sec measured with ttcp).
All logs below are given for this situation. I get better but still
assymmetric performance (3Mbyte/s send -7Mbyte/s receive) when forcing
the
card to half-duplex and (!) full-duplex as described under other_setups.
It seems, that the card is not set up for full duplex even though the
logs,
the linkpartner and tulip-diag report full duplex.

100mbit, full-duplex
other_setups:
above switch (same plug) against DS21143 NIC with MII ->
rates >10Mbyte/sec both ways
forcing tulip to 100-HD (options=3)
switch says HD, tulip-diag says HD, linkspeed 3-7Mbyte/s
forcing tulip to 100-FD (options=5) should give mismatch:
switch says HD (can't know better), tulip-diag says FD, linkspeed
3-7Mbyte/s
sis900 NIC as link partner: same problem
versions distributed with pcmcia and newer linux kernels that seem to be
derived from v0.91g show the same problems.
Thanks for reading this far ;-)
