TX Timeout with DF-500TX (3com905C is working)




Hi all!

Thanx to all the people working on etherboot (specially thanx to Ken)!

I´ve a problem with etherboot-4.7.6 and a D-Link DFE-500TX (rev-c6)
adapter (21140-AF chip).

After loading the image (from floppy) it looks like this:
(...)
Found Digital Tulip Fast at 0x6800, ROM address 0x00000000
Probig...[Tulip]Tulip 00:80:C8:E2:5A:0C at ioaddr 0x6800
Searching for server (BOOTP)...
TX Timeout!
TX Timeout!
(and so on)

The LED on the NIC looks good: "100MBit" and "Link" is on.
I started the bootpd in debug mode, but I get no connection from 
the client.
To test the cables, switch... I tried another NIC, a 3com905C TX-M. 
This card works good.

Some ideas?
Did I´ve some probs with the ROM address? 0x00000000 looks strange...

Liebe Gruesse,
Stephan Lauffer
