DFE538TX

[Guest phil_culmer]

I'm having trouble getting this little baby to work. :(

 

I somehow managed to get it up once, but I haven't the foggiest how.

 

the driver seems to load, and ifconfig eth0 up followed by ifconfig eth0 show the interface receiving packets but... no connection.

 

I'm running Mandrake 7.2 (kernel 2.2.17-21mdk) on an Athlon 850, and the pci-config and rtl8139-diag outputs are as follows:

The RTL8139 does not use a MII transceiver.

It does have internal MII-compatible registers:

Basic mode control register 0x1100.

Basic mode status register 0x782d.

Autonegotiation Advertisement 0x01e1.

Link Partner Ability register 0x45e1.

Autonegotiation expansion 0x0001.

Disconnects 0x0000.

False carrier sense counter 0x0000.

NWay test register 0x0004.

Receive frame error count 0x0000.

 

Can anyone give me any suggestions? :?

 

TIA,

 

Phil.

Just ideas:

- Dig out DLink/DFE538TX diag/setup disquette...

- Check command that brings up your nic.
