cut from dmesg (module loaded with debug=9):

[----- snip -----]
eth0:  Filling in the Rx ring.
eth0: using default media 10baseT
eth0: Initial media type 10baseT.
vortex_up(): writing 0x2000000 to InternalConfig
eth0: vortex_up() InternalConfig 02000000.
eth0: vortex_up() irq 10 media status 88c0.
[----- snap -----]

boomerang_interrupt. status=0xe000

this msg follows about 100 times...

[----- snip -----]
eth0: Media selection timer tick happened, 10baseT.

eth0: Media 10baseT has link beat, 88c0.
eth0: Media selection timer finished, 10baseT.

boomerang_interrupt. status=0xe000

and again 30-40 times...

but the card works fine in this mode

i tried with options=0x208
loading the module :
