SubjectRE: 3c905 problem
Date
sounds like your hub and NIC card are mismatching on duplex, i.e. one is set
to half duplex (HDX) and one to full duplex (FDX). You don't need a switch
to fix the problem, you need to set them both to FDX.

Subject: 3c905 problem


Sorry to bother you with a stupid question, but I don't know enough to
understand this.

I moved a machine which has a 3c905 connected to a linksys autosense
10/100 hub. I set no options on the 3c905 module.

I get millions of dreaded:

Documentation/networking/vortex.txt

What exactly does this mean? How do I fix it? I have looked at
Documentation/networking/vortex.txt, but I don't know what this
HDX/FDX means exactly, and how works with a hub or switch. Would my
problem be fixed by replacing the hub with a "switch"?
