Error description

  • PCI Express (14106803)  4-port adapter appears to be
    hung.
    The Green light stays ON after unplugging the cable in
    some
    instances. This problem was witnessed when setting the
    adapter to 100 Full and plugging it into a Cisco 3745
    Switch.
    
    Using "Other" switches and setting the card at 1Gigabit
    full
    (1000 full) is a workaround.
    

Local fix

  • Set the card to 1Gigabit full or AUTO with a non Cisco
    3745
    switch.
    

Problem summary

  • Goliad PCIe adapter does not link UP in 100Full duplex mode
    with link partner Cisco 3745 10/100 Mbps Switch
    

Problem conclusion

  • Clear the loopback bit while updating the PHY control register
    during link initialization
    

Temporary fix
