Hi all,
we have a customer with a DE500-XA in a 4100 running UNIX 3.2f.
This is running fine at 100Mbit/s in half duplex. The only question I
have is an entry in the errorlog at startup time for tu1 which gives a
status of "no link".
e.g
tu1: DECchip 21140-AA; Revision: 1.2
tu1 at pci0 slot 8
tu1: DEC Fast Ethernet Interface,
_hardware address: 00-00-F8-02-38-29
tu1: console mode: selecting 100BaseTX
_(UTP) port: full duplex: no link
Any one care to enlighten me as to why this may be
happening. The full startup errorlog entry follows:
thanks for the help

| 9260.1 | de500-xa "no link" at startup | NETRIX::"spear@pannik.zk3.dec.com" | Bob Spear | Tue Mar 25 1997 17:16 | 9 |
Chris, Looking at the if_tu.c driver, the first check is for a "good link" or "100 forced at the console". Since you have forced 100 at the console, you must wait 2.4 seconds for link-test to complete. After link-test is complete, it tests again and if link_ok =1, you break out and start setting up transmit ring and command registers. There would be no message to the console unless you failed to establish link_ok after the link-test completes. The bottom line is, yours is an expected messaged based on forcing 100BaseT at the console. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

Besides, the driver doesn't really care about the link signal. I
regret having that printf in the driver.
Link signal is not required for the device to use the Ethernet.
