[vortex] 3c59x problem on 2.4.12-ac5

Sun Oct 28 18:43:04 2001

Hi,

I'm getting the following errors from my nic (debug=6):

Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel: eth1: vortex_error(), status=0xe005
Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel: eth1: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.
Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel: Probably a duplex mismatch.  See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt
Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel:   Flags; bus-master 1, dirty 732(12) current 732(12)
Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel:   Transmit list 00000000 vs. c5ab8500.
Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel:   0: @c5ab8200  length 800005ea status 000105ea
Oct 29 01:28:00 localhost kernel:   1: @c5ab8240  length 800005ea status 000105ea

Now this card is connected to a 10Mbit-half duplex hub. When I send data to the nic (using eg. ftp) the card works just fine. But from the moment I try to get data from the card, it gives me these errors. I already checked all machines connected to the hub, to be sure all are in half-duplex mode (or definitely not in fixed to full-duplex). So this can't be the error.
I'm using 2.4.12-ac5 kernel (but it also occurs with a 2.4.2 kernel) on a VIA Samuel C3.
Here's the mii-diag and vortex-diag output:

Now I only showed the output for a 3c900 10Mb TPO card, but the result is the same for a 3c905C card.

Can anybody help me here?
