I got the card working. If anyone else is having the same problem, here's what I did: 1) I used tulip-diag to rewrite the card's EEPROM (tulip-diag -w), twice. This might not have actually been necessary, though. 2) It still didn't work, so I tried forcing the card's media type (add this to config.opts:) module "tulip_cb" opts "options=3" (for 100baseTx half-duplex, anyway). 3) And it worked! -jim

Agree: That fixes my card too. But the EEPROM rewrite seems essential. Re: Ok: EtherExpress fixed! (Jim Perry) Date: 2000, May 24 From: Kurt Atkinson kjwa

I've been having exactly the same problem with the same card and have found that this soloution works for me. However, I can report that a rewrite of the EEPROM was needed. For anyone worried about the doing an EEPROM rewrite I can say that I dual boot my system into WIN95 and the network card still works! Thanks Jim. kURT <<()>>
