[tulip-bug] Linksys PCM200 only works in promiscuous half-duplex mode

I've just bought a Linksys PCM200 integrated (dongless) cardbus
adapter. The card only picks up broadcast packets, unless I set it to
promiscuous mode. Also the card only works in half-duplex mode, even
though the kernel says that it is switching to full-duplex.
Here are the kernel messages. Note that the driver detects a DS21140
chip, but according to linksys.com it should have a 21143.

eth0: Digital DS21140 Tulip rev 17 at 0xa00, EEPROM not present, 00:4C:69:6E:75:79, IRQ 11.

eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 41e1.
I run tulip-diag. It cannot automatically detect the chip type from
the PCI id, so I used -t 3 for 21140.
