To set the speed automagically once the network starts up I personally use this on my RTL-8139: ,----[ cat /etc/network/interfaces ] | [...] | auto eth0 | iface eth0 inet static | address 192.168.0.1 | netmask 255.255.255.0 | up mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `---- Or, if you have a 2.4 kernel, you can use ethtool as Greg suggested.
