Someone posted a very small patch for the tulip PNIC-II drivers awhile
back (wish I could remember who and give them credit) and as of pre-5 its
not in the kernel, and I wanted to let you guys know that I tested this
(finally) and it has fixed my problem!! Regular pre5 was the same
behavior as previous versions, the patch below works GREAT.
Tulip-diag stats are below, and its 100Mbps full duplex which is what my
switch says it should be, dunno why it says autonegotiation disabled, but
it is talking to my NeXT (can't measure speed since the NeXT is only 10Mb
- the switch converts).
The patch didn't patch cleanly, so here's a new one. Really hope this
gets in to 2.4 cause I've been waiting for this fix forever - means I get
to install 3.3 on my NeXT this weekend (or try, not tried netbooting a
UDF CDROM across a network - my NeXT has no CDROM). I'd post the patch
for making the fb console work on the NeXT monitor at boot-up, but I
think their should be a way to specify timings on the kernel command line
or some other solution than hacking the kernel for every monitor.
I'm SOOO happy.
