  I have found out that I have previously had the other side set to 10
Mbps/half duplex! I was doing the neverending testing with LNE100TX - it
still does not work btw (it stops tx-ing from time to time, the more
traffic the sooner it breaks down). It was before my vacation and I
completely forgot about it and didn't check. Once I fixed that the card
works OK. thanks,
