Bay Networks Accelar autonegotiation failed with hamachi card

[Yasunari Suzuki]

My first mail in this ML.

We got the Hamachi cards and Bay Networks(Nortel Networks) Accelar 1200
router switch last week. I tried to connect. Hamachi card's link lamp is OK.
Accelar 1200 Gigabit board's lamp indicates OK.
But, Accelar 1200's admin software indicates not linked.
I had tested that it is not hardware problem, with hamachi's Win95 driver.

So, I tried to use Hamachi driver v0.07 and Eric Kasten's v0.08,
same result.

I think that it is autonegotiation problem.
I tried change ANAdvertise register value from 0x08e0 to 0x00a0 in
hamachi_probe1 function. I don't know register meaning.
Simply, 0x41a0 && 0x08e0.

This change makes that Accelar's admin software indicate good.

I don't know that this value is correct. Please advise me.

Best Regards.
