Subject:   de driver does not work properly at 100Mbos HALF DUPLEX

Hi,

I once bought a 3com dual speed Hub (that is half duplex at 100Mbps),
several SMC 9334BDT boards, and put the whole in a FreeBSD box (2.2.6)

The boards worked only at 10Mbps. At 100Mbps, RX led is lit all the time
and no transmission occurs.

Another guy did just the same, but with version 2.2.7 and another kind
of dual speed hubs (that work at 100Mbps full duplex), and it worked
fine.

I read somewhere that the de driver was fixed between 2.2.6 and 2.2.7,
so I guessed that I did pick the wrong version.

Later I had a new box, and I've installed it with 3.1 and....It still
doesn't work (with the same symptoms). 

So I'm asking : has someone ever tried a SMC 9334BDT board at 100Mbps
HALF DUPLEX ? Isn't there a bug in the DE driver here ?

Regards

Fabrice Segura
