Dlink DFE-500TX Rev-C5 (Tulip 21140-AF)

#include <hallo.h>




I tried to use this NIC with etherboot-4.2.13 but the Boot-Image (both
tulip/ntulip) isn't able to get Layer 1 up. (Hub/NIC don't show link) It
prints the (correct) MAC and then tries to get it's IPs (bootp) but as i
said before there is no Layer 1 connect. The regular tulip-driver of
2.0.37 (tomsrtbt 1.7.185) gets the card to work. (I could telnet/ftp ...)

Cause i had another NIC (RTL 8139, the Problem with DHCP!) i haven't look
into that any further. For me it's of no importance, if this NIC works or
not. But if someone wants to investigate, i am willing to help.

Btw does a driver for via-rhine NICs exist?
