RE: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit
I tried to put mii-tool in ifup. That doesn't work. I think because mii-tool need some time to initialize. When I do a mii-tool --advertise=10baseT-FD,10baseT-HD mii-tool I get a no-link output. When I wait a second and rerun mii-tool everything is o.k. Rob Try putting your mii-tool command in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup round about line 329 just before DHCP is configured. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks for all reactions. I finally got my internet working. I have to run mii-tool --advertise=10baseT-FD,10baseT-HD After that I have to run dhclient, every time I boot up my computer.

Re: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit
It may help to disable network hotplugging. Hotplugging will attempt to up/down the interface depending on whether it sees keep alive polls. To disable hotplugging edit /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf and remove the interface from the INTERFACES= line. Then service network restart Also if you do modinfo sis900 you will see a list of module options. It looks as if the sis900 driver does not have an option to select 10Mbps or half duplex. You might learn more on the sis support pages. I know they have a forum. derek On Monday 07 Jul 2003 7:40 am, Rob van Dam wrote: When I do a modprobe, the driver is loaded without any warning.

Re: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit
Is it possible to configure the switch itself? Usually, the Sis900 just works without needing to set any options. Where did you find the 0x40 option to set? Also, you don't have something like zeroconf enabled do you? What happens if you hard code an IP address?

Unfortunately I can't adjust the speed in CMOS. It's an auto-detect problem for sure.

Does anyone know how to do this? Two ways 1/ Install net-tools RPM then use mii-tool . See man mii-tool. You will need to insert the command somewhere in your boot up (e.g. /etc/rc.local ) 2/ Set a module option in /etc/modules.conf For advice see http://www.scyld.com/network/ HTH derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

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.
