Negotiation completed. Something is wrong. Are you sure it's a hub? The link partner ability says FullDuplex capable, it's either a switch or the negotiation produced wrong results. The natsemi nic advertises 5e1, but the speed is fixed at 100 mbps. Probably a forced renegotiation after mii-diag changes is missing, and the forced settings aren't used properly. I'll look at it. -- Manfred - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
