[tulip-bug] Adaptec ANA-6922

[Paul Ingendorf]

I've been working on this for a day and  ahalf now the longest I have ever
spent doing something in linux since I started using it.  The problem I am
having is I was given this nic a while back and I have just built a box where I
would liek to use it.  When I load the 0.92l version I recieve the following in
the log even with the reverse_probe=1 set in modules.conf the messages are the
same.

After all of this nothing works I have a link for the second port but not for
the first.  Running ifconfig eth0 down allows eth1 to work.  I played around
with all the options etc and was unable to come up with anything usefull but I
did notice I had an old_tulip module so I ran through the module.conf options
with it and was able to get a link light on both ports.  This lasted for
aproxamatly 3 seconds on both a cheapo 5 port 10/100 dsh-5 and a fairly
expensive 16 port rack mount 10-T hub durring which time I was able to recieve
a ping response from the interface.

The response from the old_tulip mod was a bit different it came up as follows

I have specified the module params such as options=x,x from 0-18 and 0x200 and
user the reverse_probe=1 and 0.  So far I am unable to get the first port light
with the 0.92l driver only with the older 0.89h can I get link lights for both
interfaces but they only last a few seconds.

I would appreciate any info as I'm at my wits end and what I have found by
searching archives and such have not helped me as of yet.  With the exception
of the reverse_probe=1 which was able to get the old_tulip driver to not
complain about no eeprom on the first port.
