[tulip-bug] Intel 21145 : no MII transceivers found

[Greg T Hill]

I am trying to get Intel 21145 Phoneline/Ethernet controller working on a 
Gateway Profile2 using the Tulip driver. I have tried kernel 2.4.3 & 2.4.5 
drivers as modules and 1.1.7 development driver with all the same results. 
The module loads, the card is detected, but no MII transceivers are found.
Seems to want to load as 100baseT, but with options=9 still no MII.

I copied the output of tulip-diag to a windows partition and accessed it with 
Samba (card works in windows, warning label on box says "Designed for Windows 
98")

Output from dmesg:
