Hi,

I have a PCI power mac, a 7600/120 which is running NetBSD-2.0. I had an AsanteFast 590 PCI 10/100 card installed. This card uses the tlp driver. However no matter what I tried, could not get the card to work with 100MB/s Full or half duplex. Works at 10 mbits full or half, however, produces many "receive error: MII error" and "receive error: CRC error" messages on console and messages log.

This could just be me not setting it properly, but I did double check all settings. I was wondering if anyone else might have seen this? Before I start digging further. This card is fine, as it works as it should in LinuxPPC, OS X/Darwin (with G3) and MacOS 9.1

This is not urgent, as I have a 3Com 3c905-TX 10/100 (ex driver) working just fine at 100MB/S with NetBSD 2.0 macppc.

I can't remember if I had trouble with NetBSD 1.6.2.

So, if anyone else has seen this or has a fix let me know. Or let me know if there is an additional flag I need to set on with the tlp driver. 
If requested, I can reinstall the card and get some more debugging information.

Kind Regards,

Andre'
