linksys cardbus 10/100 still not working

[Bruce Lowekamp]

I tried today to see if my linksys cardbus card would work with
0.90k/3.0.8, as someone else had reported.

Basically, it appears to be receiving packets, but can't transmit
them.  I've tried on a half-duplex 10baseT and a 100baseT (I'm
uncertain of whether the switch supports full duplex---my other
workstation only does half)

ifconfig eth0 reports that packets are being received, but no packets
are being transmitted.  The routing and other setttings that I could
think of look correct (compared to other linux machines).  

I also tried the old tricks of setting TULIP_DEFAULT_MEDIA to 4 and
trying options=9 to lock the transciever into MII 10bT.  Neither helped.

occasionally, messages pop up on my screen like:
eth0: Tx hung 19 vs 15

(also with 23, 21, and 22 instead of 19)


Any help would be appreciated.  I can email further diagnostics if it
will help.

Thanks,
Bruce
