Yes, that's exactly how it works. It allows you to select the forced mode by setting all of the higher-speed advertised capability bits to zero. > After deactivating both GBit capabilities, 100MBit half duplex and > auto-negotiation both links now talk with 100MBit full duplex to the switch. > Hooray! > > So it wasn't not a bug, but basically a user error... :-o Good to hear! I should have guessed that this was a potential problem, but I just "assumed" that you'd set the unwanted bits to zero. Sorry about that. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list networking-discuss@opensolaris.org
