Unfortunately I can't adjust the speed in CMOS. It's an auto-detect problem for sure. I have some experience with this problem in Windows, and it only works when I fix the card to 10 mbit speed, and turn auto-detect off.
My only problem is how to do this in Linux. I tried ethtool, but I got the error message "this function not supported" when I try to get auto-mode off. I also tried to add this to modules.conf (I found this in internet) alias eth0 sis900 options sis900 options=0x40 That also didn't work. I prefer adjusting modules.conf because the change are applied automatically on boot. Does anybody know what option I exactly need to add to modules.conf? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joeb Sent: zondag 6 juli 2003 5:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit The reason I ask, is that I have a MB with a Sis900 ethernet that wouldn't work correctly with my 10mb hub. It turns out, though, that in my CMOS, it was set to 100mb. I changed it there and things have worked like a charm ever since. If it's not a CMOS thing for you, I know we've had problems at work with other ethernet adapters where duplexing was a problem. Evidently, we had cards trying to connect to switches in the wrong duplex mode, I believe it was a problem with the switches, although I don't remember all of the details. Finally, we've also had some marginal network cables that worked fine at 10mb or 100mb, but never auto-detect. Once replaced, things worked fine. Just some thoughts, although the simplest thing would be to not auto-detect and manually set it.
