SMC Ethernet Problem
I have always used 3Com ethernet cards but I recently got a PCI SMC card
with a DEC 21041 chip.
The system boots, sees the card, loads the driver, reports the IO and IRQ.
I get a good link light, card sees and selects the 10BaseT port, but it
will not transmit.
The card is brought up just fine and the IP, network, broadcast and
netmask are correct. After some time, it starts reporting errors like:
20141 transmit timeout status fc6980d5 csr12 00000001c8 csr13 ffffef05
csr14 ffffff3f, resetting
When it resets, I can see the link light die on the hub and come back. I
have replaced cables, and tried a different port on the hub.
Has anyone else had this problem with this card?
