forcedeth on MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Hi linux-kernel and Carl-Daniel,
I have just put together a system with a MSI K8N Neo Platinum
motherboard, and I've been having trouble getting the network up and
running. The chipset is the NVIDIA nForce 3 250Gb.
I'm using gentoo, and have compiled kernel 2.6.7 (gentoo-dev-sources, if
you're familiar with gentoo) with the forcedeth-bk4 and
forcedeth_gigabig_try19 patches. I have compiled the forcedeth driver as
a module (It is the 10/100 forcedeth driver that is patched to handle
1000, right?).
When I try to start up the network I get the following messages in my
syslog:
eth0: phy init failed to autoneg
eth0: no link during initialization
(I had the NIC connected to a switch at the time, in case that is what
is meant by the "no link" bit)
Is there something simple that I missed, like module parameters, or is
this a more complicated issue?
Tonight I will try to enable debugging in the code, to see if I can get
some more information for you. I would be more than willing to help you
out with any testing you need.
Is there anything else I can do to help?
Lars
