Problem with 2.4.22 and SMC EtherPower II 9432

[Adrian Bunk]

Hi,

on two different machines the ethernet card works with kernel 2.2.20 but 
not with kernel 2.4.22 (both contain machines contain the same card).

Card:

lspci:
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC] 83C170QF (rev 08)

cat /proc/pci:
  Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: SMC 9432 TX (rev 8).
      Fast devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 10.  Master Capable.  
Latency=32.  Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=28.
      I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde800000 [0xde800000].


Kernel 2.2.20 (working):
kernel: eth0: SMSC EPIC/100 83c170 at 0xb000, IRQ 10, 00:e0:29:3d:e4:6f.
kernel: eth0: MII transceiver #3 control 3000 status 7809.
kernel: eth0:  Autonegotiation advertising 01e1 link partner 0001.
...
kernel: eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #3 link partner capability of 45e1.

Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong in 2.4.22?
