[alt.sys.sun] Experience in using the SEEQ 8003 ethernet controller

kklw@mullian.ee.mu.OZ.AU (Kevin K L WONG) (10/25/90)

I am using the SEEQ ethernet chip set to build a ethernet port. From a
logic analyzer, I found that when data is coming in (both CSN and RxD
are active), the 8003 sometimes asserts the RxRDY but sometimes it
doesn't which cause a severe packet loss. I set the Rx command register
as 0x80 (match station address and broadcast) while Tx command register
as 0x00, ie INT is not used at all.

Do I forget to set up anything? Does anyone have experience on this chip
set? Thanks in advance.
