| |
Sorry if this is covered in a how-to, but I've search most of them, man pages, and various kernel docs, and no where could I find how to set an ethernet card capable of both 10 and 100Mbps operation to specifically one or the other. Also, I could not find where to show what the card is currently set to. I feel like an idiot :/
I'd like this for my card, a SUN here at work (Happy Meal's can do both 10 and 100 can't they?), and for a friend having issues with this. Also, I've seen cases where a two nics had constant errors when both were set to auto-detect the speed and a simple cross-over cable was used instead of a switch - they'd collide somehow trying to auto-adjust and get TONS of CRC errors (although I think this was the fault of either the NFS server provider or SUN as it was a solaris box connected to a netapp nfs server - but I someone said they'd seen the same problem elsewhere as well - the solution was to set one or the other to a specific speed).
