Davicom DM9102AF card working only at 10 Mbps
I have an ethernet card with a DM9102AF chip. It only works at 10 Mbps.
More precisely by using etheral on another box I see the frames it is sending but it seems unable to catch the replies. If I configure it to transmit at 10 Mbps then it works.
It happens both with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
The computer with the Davicom card is linked to the network through a switch. The particualr cable and switch's port have worked perfectly with other cards. Same thing for the network config;
Could be a thing about failing negotiation with the switch (as I saids the switch has worked perfectly with other cards). Now the question is if negotiation is a hardware thing and there is nothing to be done or a driver thing and then it should be fixed
I have tried to link the card directly to another computer through a
crossed cable. It worked but
I haven't checked at what speed the cards agreed to work.
I have tried the card in several computers: K6 with VIA chipset, PIII with VIA chipset, P4 with Intel chipset. Same results everywhere: card doesn't work at 100 Mbps only at 10 Mbps

The name of the driver ('lsmod' output) would help identify the relevant maintainer (if any). It seems to be a tulip clone, right ?

Some more details could help as well:
- vendor or vanilla kernel ?
- sub-revision ?
- latest -bk/-mm ?
