Hi, 
  I am having troubles getting my asante 10/100 ethernet card to see my
other linux box. And am hoping someone could help me out.  I insmod the
tulip driver, start eth0 and try to telnet or ping etc... and I get no
network activity at all. 

sa@space$ uname -a
Linux space 2.2.10 #15 Sat Sep 11 02:39:26 MDT 1999 ppc unknown

the tulip driver sees my card as a: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC

asante tech support says it is a  PNIC LC82C169-9902

/proc/pci says it is:

  Bus  0, device  14, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: LiteOn LNE100TX (rev 32).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 25.  Master
Capable.  Latency=32.  
      I/O at 0x400 [0x401].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x80800000 [0x80800000].

here is the debug log (debug=6):

Sep 11 03:45:26 space kernel: Found Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at PCI I/O

** then it keeps repeating the following:

Sep 11 03:47:52 space kernel: eth0: Transmit timeout using MII device. 
Sep 11 03:47:52 space kernel: eth0: interrupt  csr5=0x02699084 new

any ideas would be appreaciated.
