First off, you really should upgrade the kernel to the latest appropriate for 7.3 (2.4.18-10, IIRC). I don't remember exactly what has been fixed, but 2.4.7 is OLD at this point. You won't need to recompile to get 100-BaseT/FDX, but you might have to specify a driver option. If autonegotiation between your NIC and switch aren't working, look in /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/ for documentation specific to your card. For example, from vortex.txt: "insmod 3c59x options=0x204 will force full-duplex 100base-TX" If you don't see any documentation in that directory, a google search for "[module name] linux options" should get you somewhere. If you're really stuck, post back with more details such as the type of NIC, model of switch, and any diagnostic messages you're getting. - -- Matthew J.
