Hi,

I have a Dell Optiplex GXa (Pentium II 266) with an integrated
3com Fast Etherlink XL, or 3c905.  The ep driver recognizes it,
and mostly works, but doesn't detect the correct media.  In fact
it thinks it only has 100basetx, but actually seems to run at 10Mbs.
Here is the output of dmesg, with 'epdebug=1':

I have tried this with the medium type set to "Auto NWAY", and with
100Mbs/Full Duplex.  Either way the output of 'ifconfig -m ep0' is:

ep0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	media: 100baseTX status: active
	supported media: 100baseTX
	inet xxxxxxxxxxx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Even though it claims 100baseTX, it is really running at 10Mbs, as I have
to force the port on my switch down to 10Mbs/half to get packets through.

I'm hoping someone out there has some debugging suggestions, or docs on
this particular card.
