[tulip] LNE100TX... not solved

[Erik Steffl]

  me too:-)

  I have the same card, same problem (or similar). I have tried all the
drivers (current latest, current test, some patches from Dan Hollis) but
nothing helps so far. Is this card considered working? Under
development? Ignored?

  [tulip-diag reports half duplex, tx is often disconnected, the card
works under win 95]
