Hello knowledgeable ones,


quick question, just installed a couple linux boxes   with  3com 3c905b
TX  NIC's
it is a 10/100 card  and they are plugged into a  10/100 hub
there are other machines that register the green light for 100Mbit,  but
these boxes are still on the yellow light for 10Mbit

to the best of my knowledge the card should autonegotiate the speed and
there are no jumpers or anything on the card

conf.modules:
alias eth0 3c59x


got this from the dmesg:
3c59x.c:v0.99E 5/12/98 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xb000, 00:50:04:d3:6a:42, IRQ 11

  8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/NWay Autonegotiation
interface.
  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.


other than not registering 100Mbit  all networking is fine.
