I notice a patch in 2005 from Micahel O'Donnel to the e100.c driver has
stopped auto-crossover working on some e100 devices we use.
On one system the auto-negotiation was restored by commenting out:
(nic->mac == mac_82551_10) in function e100_phy_init where the MDI/MDI-X
is disabled.
are you sure that patch did that? What version of e100 are you using?
we've since enabled MDI-X on most parts with this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=60ffa478759f39a2eb3be1ed179bc3764804b2c8;hp=09e590e5d5a93f2eaa748a89c623258e6bad1648
Please try the latest kernel or the latest e100 available from
e1000.sf.net
if that doesn't work we'll need to know what kernel are you using?
Let me have another check and get back to you.
It will be at least a week though.
Thanks for your response.
