I observe lots of collisions on my NIC. The nic is a D-Link DFE-530TX, and is talking to a Realtek8139 card on the other end. The Realtek card is configured in full-duplex 100baseTX mode.
I looked thru the driver source (via-rhine.c), and there's no mention of what kind of media and mediaopt params it groks. Is there any way to force it into full-duplex? ,----[ /sbin/ifconfig ] | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:A9:13:F6 | inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | RX packets:13090 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | TX packets:7028 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 | collisions:1250 txqueuelen:100 | Interrupt:10 Base address:0xe400 | | lo Link encap:Local Loopback | inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 | UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 | RX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 | collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 `---- Thanks! -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com "'What good is my pity?
