'ep' and 'vx' are PIO. The 3c900 and 3c905 will operate in PIO mode but will do DMA so are driven by the 'xl' driver now. The big advantage to merging 'ep' and 'vx' will be that the MII PHY code will only have to be written once. This doesn't mean that the 3c589D will support Full-Duplex. I suspect that the windows driver offers that option (since it is probably for whole family of cards) and doesn't do anything if the card doesn't support it. Its likely that the 'fxp' card under windows is doing NWAY regardless of control panel settings. Since the reported config is a cross-over environment there isn't any way to tell for sure that windows runs the 589D in full duplex mode. -- | Matthew N.
