The Linux driver does some strange things in the auto-negotiation.  I
will review my changes.  I may be able to get my hands on another tlan
car to test with also.

Yeah, I left it in because the Linux driver mentioned ISA versions.
Obviously it should have been taken out.

I am not sure whether the Tx buffer can be set to 1.  The card requires
the forward pointer of the ring to point to the next buffer.  If it sees
a zero it ends the channel.  (Which could be Ok, I have tried to make it
do that to no avail.)  If you point the forward pointer to itself it
keeps transmitting the same thing...
  
Thanks
