    Hi,

    on two different machines the ethernet card works with kernel 2.2.20 but
    not with kernel 2.4.22 (both contain machines contain the same card).

    Card:

    lspci:
    00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC] 83C170QF (rev 08)

    cat /proc/pci:
      Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
        Ethernet controller: SMC 9432 TX (rev 8).
          Fast devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable.
    Latency=32. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=28.
          I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001].
          Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde800000 [0xde800000].

    Kernel 2.2.20 (working):
    kernel: eth0: SMSC EPIC/100 83c170 at 0xb000, IRQ 10, 00:e0:29:3d:e4:6f.
    kernel: eth0: MII transceiver #3 control 3000 status 7809.
    kernel: eth0: Autonegotiation advertising 01e1 link partner 0001.
    ...
    kernel: eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #3 link partner capability of 45e1.

    Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong in 2.4.22?
