[tulip-bug] tulip medium selection oddity

[Tobias Abt]

When I force a CNet 100TX(E) (21143 without MII, just SYM) to use
10baseT by

# insmod tulip options=12 debug=3 ; ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.4

it is autonegotiating to 100baseTx-FDX anyway when attached to a switch.

Did I miss something here?

(Happens with 0.91 and 0.92)
