The wiki will suffice.

[9fans] ns83815: auto neg timed out?

[Pär Moberg]

Hello,
I have a problem with the plan9 installation. I think that I don't get a
network connection because it says "ns83815: auto neg timed out", the
floppy I use is from May 17 2011 but I have made my own PLAN9.INI:
# config for initial floppy booting

[menu]
menuitem=boot, Boot Plan 9
# menuitem=debug, Boot Plan 9 and debug 9load
menudefault=boot, 10

[common]
# very cautious settings to get started.
# will defeat booting from usb devices.
*nomp=1
*nobiosload=1
# *noahciload=1
# *debugload=1
*nodumpstack=1
# this would disable ether and usb probing.
# *nousbprobe=1
# *noetherprobe=1
distname=plan9
partition=new
mouseport=ps2
monitor=xga
vgasize=1024x768x16
dmamode=yes
nobootprompt=local!/boot/bzroot
installurl=http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2
# serial console on COM1
#console=0
ether0=type=83815 ea=00e006010101

[boot]
bootargs=local!#S/sdD0/data
bootfile=fd0!9pcflop.gz

# [debug]
# bootargs=local!#S/sdD0/data
# bootfile=sdD0!cdboot!9pccd.gz
# *debugload=1

i don't have the datasheet in front of me, but the two most obvious
causes are a difficult link partner or perhaps your chip
doesn't like being poked immediately after starting an sequence.
you might try moving the delay(1) before the register probe.

Okej, does that mean that I have to recompile the driver?

*profanity*
What documentation do I need to read to learn how to do that?
