Question: Autonegotiation Failure from dmesg 

Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops

When I insert the etherexpress pro100, or the xircom rem56G, I get the initialization "beep" followed by another similar beep. In dmesg it gives me an autonegotiation failure. Everything else seems OK. What to do?

It isn't a problem

When you say everything else seems OK, do you mean that the network
works fine?

An autonegotiation failure is not necessarily even an error.  It means
that whatever you are connected to did not autonegotiate the link
speed (10baseT versus 100baseT) and duplex.  This is normal if you are 
connected to a single-speed hub, for example.

So, there is probably no reason to do anything.
