Dear all,
I just bought some new switches (transtec MiniSwitch 800) which can do
auto-negotiation to 10 & 100 Mbit Ethernet (half and full duplex).
Everything works fine, but our ES40 will only run in 10 Mbit mode
using
set ewa0_mode twisted or
set ewa0_mode full
on the SRM console. Setting it to 'auto-negotiate' fails misserable
with an error. 'fast' and 'fastfd' don't work either.
I upgraded to the latest firmware on the ES40. The machine has a
DECchip 21140: Revision: 2.2
in it. All other machines (various Linux PCs, Windows NT and a PWS
500au with DECchip 21143: Revision: 3.0 are running at full speed).
Question: is there a known issue with ethernet cards (DECchip 21140)
in ES40s? Or might the problem be with the MiniSwitch?
I'll summarize ...
Cheers
Clemens
