Bug#303490: tulip driver doesn't open loop on Apple 100BaseT ethernet card
Package: kernel-image-2.6.10-powerpc
Version: 2.6.10-2
Severity: important
The tulip driver should open the loopback on the Apple 100BaseT ethernet
card when bringing up the interface. Otherwise the interface is unusable
for normal traffic. This can be done by writing 0x10f and 0x3 to CSR12.
It's probably wise to check for the apple OUI first as other cards might
use the GPIO pins for other purposes. The apple OUI is 00:05:02.
Additionally you can check for the chip type being 21140, as apple
never made cards with other tulip family chips.
