[PATCH 2.6.7 and 2.4.27-pre6] new device support for forcedeth.c

Hi Brian,

could you check the full duplex handling? I'm testing my new nforce-250
Gb (epox 8KDA3J) with a normal 100 MBit autonegotiation link partner and
I'm getting bad performance (30 kB/sec) when sending. Half duplex works.
The nic reports late collisions:

nv_tx_done: looking at packet 233, Flags 0x28200.
-> packet not yet completed
nv_tx_done: looking at packet 233, Flags 0x1a810.
bits 16, 15, 13, 11, 4
error, lastpacket, late collision, deferred, retryerror.
nv_tx_done: looking at packet 234, Flags 0x8000.
-> successful
nv_tx_done: looking at packet 235, Flags 0x28200.
-> not yet completed.

Autonegotiation seems to work correctly: np->linkspeed is set to 65636, np->duplex to 1.
lspci reports:

00:05.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 00df (rev a2)

30: 00 00 00 00 44 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0b 01 01 14

Could you give me a hint what's wrong? If you need further register values, just ask.

Thanks,
