[PATCH] non-MII 3c59x fix
From: Marc Zyngier <mzyngier@freesurf.fr> The following patch tries to fix a small bug that crept in at some point during 2.5. None of my 3c592 or 3c597 would work if I didn't force media type. Instead, it would try to probe MII, looking for a suitable transceiver, and finaly give up, because these cards really do not have any sort of MII... : EISA: Probing bus 0 at Intel Corp. 82375EB EISA: Mainboard DEC5000 detected. EISA: slot 2 : ADP0001 detected. EISA: slot 3 : ADP7771 detected. EISA: slot 4 : DPTA401 detected. EISA: slot 5 : TCM5920 detected. 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html 00:05: 3Com EISA 3c592 EISA 10Mbps Demon/Vortex at 0x5000. Vers LK1.1.19 ***WARNING*** No MII transceivers found! EISA: Detected 4 cards. With the enclosed patch, it just works, at least on my setup (3c592 on Alpha, and 3c597 on x86). I haven't been able to test it didn't break cards with MII, because I do not have such cards in my test boxes... The patch also removes two useless EISA-only #define I introduced some time ago.
