I have a crossed over cable. Let the epic drive speak for itself:

epic100.c:v1.04 8/23/98 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/epic100.html
eth1: SMC EPIC/100 at 0xb800, IRQ 9, 00:e0:29:07:13:95.
eth1: MII transceiver #3 control 3000 status 7809.
eth1:  Autonegotiation advertising 01e1 link partner 0001.
eth1: Setting full-duplex based on MII #3 link partner capability of 41e1.

and the other one:

eth0: SMC EPIC/100 at 0xb800, IRQ 10, 00:e0:29:07:3b:1b.
eth0: MII transceiver #3 control 3000 status 7809.

The first is a module: I had a problem getting two nics working with the
drivers compiled in. The second is compiled in: hence its messages are
mixed with others.
