Until now I thought is it enough to add an devalias like

devalias net /[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0:speed=100,duplex=full

to the nvramrc; set the variable use-nvramrc? to true and do a reset-all to 
force a network adapter to  100 FullDuplex w/o autonegotiation.

But today I learned while doing a WANBOOT installation that this does not work 
all the time/ for all adapters..

So one question is: For what adapter types (ce, qfe, ge, etc) does this syntax 
work?

And what OBP version do I need for this feature?

And the next question is how to configure a network adapter to 100 MB Full 
Duplex in the OBP for WANBOOT installations (we use WANBOOT on newer machines 
with WANBOOT feature  in the OBP and for older machines with WANBOOT from 
cdrom/disk) if the syntax above does not work?


All our switch ports are configured to 100 MB Full Duplex and we do not want to 
change this for the installation if not really necessary.

regards

Bernd
