[gPXE] Intel NIC Link-state problem

[Thomas Miletich]

Hello Christopher
please insert the following line in eepro100.c in line 337, right
after the ifec_mdio_setup() call:

printf("eepro100 - mdio_register: %#04x\n", priv->mdio_register);

The driver will output a line in the format of 'eepro100 -
mdio_register 0x????'. Please tell us what the value of 0x???? is for
your card. When I get home tomorrow I'll compare the value to the
values read with my eepro100 cards.
I'll also have a look at the linux e100 and eepro100 drivers and see
how they do the link detecting, as I think to remember neither of them
had something as a 'mdio_register'.

Thanks
Thomas
