3C59x - SCO UNIX - Error: "3C59x unit 0: Cannot automatically determine transceiver."

Problem: The following message error appears: "3C59X unit 0: Cannot automatically determine transceiver."

Solution: Modify the Media type via DOS, using the 3C59XCFG configuration and diagnostics utility.
Use driver version 1.1C.
Modify the /etc/conf/pack.d/e3G0/space.c file

#vi space.c
Change the value short e3G_xcvr [4] = {8, 8, 8, 8} to

... /...
/* transceiver type for each board, 0 = 10BASE-T, 1 = 10Mbps AUI,
2 = 100BASE-T4, 3 = 10BASE-2 (coax), 4 = 100BASE-TX, 5 = 100BASE-FX,
6 = MII, 7 = reserved, 8 = automatic selection */
short e3G_xcvr [4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
... /...

Proceed to the usual recompilation of the kernel.
