Hi,
I get the same with Linksys LNE100TX, UP kernel, Cx586. I suspect the wake-on-lan feature is the culprit, or maybe an accomplice -- no such connector on this old mobo.
I previously have used, with success, the vendor-supplied version of the tulip driver. It is marked: /* Test version only: Do not distribute. */ static const char version[] = "tulip.c:v0.90f 12/17/98 Originally written by becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov\nDriver modified for Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter on 01/13/99\n"; $ uname -srm Linux 2.2.15pre9 i486 $ /sbin/lspci -vv 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc: Unknown device c115 (rev 25) Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc: Unknown device c001 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping+ SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR+ Latency: 8 min, 56 max, 64 set, cache line size 08 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 12 Region 0: I/O ports at fc00 Region 1: Memory at ffbeff00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Expansion ROM at ffb80000 [disabled] Capabilities: <available only to root> 00:05.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C496 (rev 31) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort+ >SERR- <PERR+ Latency: 0 set
Above with no driver loaded.
`diff -u tulip.c.vendor tulip.c.kernel` gives a daunting big thing to poke through. Unfortunately, I don't yet really understand pci+ether.
