Hi

I'm attempting to get 2 NetGear FA310tx nics (on 2 Tyan Tiger 100 MBs)
to talk across a cross-over cable.  After overcoming RH5.1 frustrations,
I have both cards initializing correctly.  When I attempt to ping the
other card, the ping starts and hangs waiting for a response.  I can
watch the lights on the cards and in both directions, I see one card
flashing for transmitting packets and the other card flashing for
recieving packets.  But ifconfig shows lots of TX packets and zero RX
packets.

I'm including the results of "tulip-diag -a".  I suspect the problem
lies in the first line which is written to standard error "Unknown PCI
device ID bffffb84" -- but I not sure what this means or what the
solution is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
