test results

Wed Apr 7 17:25:56 1999

On a Samsung/API Alpha motherboard with onboard 21143-PC we ran tests with
tulip.c V.90y.
We are connecting to a 10T hub (3COM 3C16700)
The results:
First we loaded as a module in a 2.2.4 kernel with :
debug=5 options=12

Found Digital DS21143 Tulip at PCI I/O address 0x8000.

When we try to ping the gateway we get:

Until you unload the module:
eth0: Shutting down ethercard, status was f0260000.
