[vortex] What do I make of this?

[Allan McIntosh]

I am using:

00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c595 100BaseTX [Vortex]

Redhat 7.2 2.4.9-13custom.

when I ran mii-diag this was the out put:

Basic registers of MII PHY #0:  0000 ffff 0000 ffff 0000 ffff 0000 ffff.
 The autonegotiated capability is 0000.
No common media type was autonegotiated!
This is extremely unusual and typically indicates a configuration error.
Perhaps the advertised capability set was intentionally limited.
 Basic mode control register 0x0000: Auto-negotiation disabled, with
 Speed fixed at 10 mbps, half-duplex.
 Basic mode status register 0xffff ... ffff.
   Link status: established.
 Remote fault detected!
   *** Link Jabber! ***
 Your link partner advertised ffff: Flow-control 100baseT4 100baseTx-FD 
100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT, w/ 802.3X flow control.
   End of basic transceiver information.

Should I ignore? 

thanks 

Al
