Julia, you will have *much* better luck getting an answer for the linux-on-baremetal (i.e. physical machine) behavior re. pause-frames if you ask in the netdev ML at vger.kernel.org. Instructions here: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html Pause-frame handling is all done kernel-side. For the vmware angle, please ask vmware directly. > First of all I noticed some discrepancies between the output of > mii-tools or ethtool -a and the attempt to change the flow control AFAIK, mii-tools and ethtool use different kernel APIs, and NIC drivers don't have to support both at the same level (or at all). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
