I had not seen this problem until now.  The patch looks ok and
probably should have been written that way initially.  I have been
able to do a quick touch test with a 970A, 971, 972, 973, 975, 976, and
978 (some on ia32 and others on ppc64) without any adverse effects.
The 975 I have is copper not fiber.


Great, thanks.


Since only bit 12 is needed to enable LED writes, the code could
really be "a->write_bcr(ioaddr, 2, a->read_bcr(ioaddr, 2) | 0x1000);"
During pcnet32_open the ASEL bit is changed anyway.


OK, could you please prepare a final patch sometime and get it into Jeff? cc me as well please so I can update the patch I have.

Yes, please do Don, if you have the time.

        Jeff
