SubjectRe: Troubles with DEC 21143 Nics (adaptec ana-6922), tulip driver, linux 2.2.9 ;-(
Xavier,

Try this:

1) First get the newest tulip.c driver, V0.91 or maybe higher now.

2) Configure tulip driver as a module.
(make sure you do 'make modules; make modules_install' after
rebuilding kernel)

3) In /etc/modules.conf add:

alias eth1 tulip
alias eth2 tulip
options tulip options=5,5 debug=1

This will use the tulip driver for eth1 and eth2 and put them in
100Mb/Full Duplex (option 5). For other settings look at the
beginning of tulip.c.

We've seen some flakiness(?) with 21143's trying to get them to do
100Mb/FD. 21140-AF's work much better.

Hope this helps
