OK, thanx! I think I see what you mean.
I first tried options=0, which had no changes. I then tried
options=12 to force 10BaseT. This gave the message
eth1: Using user-specified media 10baseT(forced).
while waiting for the cable modem DHCP lease at boot.
But it didn't seem to get a lease, and when it had finished booting,
eth1 wasn't there. So I guess it isn't 10/100 sensing either...?
Could I be loading the wrong driver for a DS21143 chip, perhaps?
For reference, here is what I did:
I first changed /etc/modules from
3c59x
tulip
to
3c59x
tulip options=0
For the second try, I changed it to
3c59x
tulip options=12
Thanx!
