Hi!
I'm using a D-Link DFE-570 four-port fast ethernet card.
It is using a pci2pci bridge and four DEC DC21142 (rev 65) chips (they're
actually produced by intel) and is therefore similar to other designs
like adaptec fourport cards.
At first I tried the tulip driver. The tulip does recognize all four
chips, provides eth0 till eth3. But unfortunately it doesn't work at all.
Tcpdump shows no packets from the net on any interface.
this is a dump from what happened at insmod tulip:

=======================
I suspect there's a problem initializing the transceivers or sth. like that.
If I'm using the de4x5 driver, everything works fine at 100MBit.
But I want to use two of the four ports at 10MBit for a transition period.
this is a dump from insmod de4x5:

Mar 10 21:42:13 localhost kernel: eth0: media is 100Mb/s.
Mar 10 21:47:32 localhost kernel: eth2: media is 100Mb/s.
=========================
I read the documentation and already tried to hardcode one ethernet port
to 10MBit. But as soon as a 10mbit network is attached to the port,
"ethX: media is 100Mb/s" appears. But that network is 10Mb/s for sure.
Maybe anyone has a guess what's going on. Thanx in advance.
P.S. The machine is a redhat 6.1, redhat 2.2.12-20 kernel, K6-III 400
