Following is some info on setting the duplex mode... http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/network/063my/linux.htm
Optional parameters for the driver can be supplied as command line arguments to the insmod command. Commonly, these options are specified in a module configuration file: "/etc/modules.conf" or "/etc/conf.modules." See the Linux man page for more details on the module configuration file. These parameters take the form: <parameter>=value[,value,...] where the multiple values for the same parameter are for multiple NICs installed in the system. All the parameters are listed below. line_speed Selects the line speed of the link. This parameter is used together with full_duplex to select the speed and duplex setting of the link. The valid values are: 0 - Auto-negotiate (default) 10 -10 Mbps 100 -100 Mbps Note that selecting 1000 Mbps manually is invalid. 1000 Mbps can only be achieved through autonegotiation. full_duplex Selects the duplexity of the link. This parameter is used together with line_speed to select the speed and duplex setting of the link. Note that this parameter is ignored if line_speed is 0. The valid values are: 0 half duplex 1 full duplex (default) rx_flow_control Enables or disables receiving flow control (pause) frames. This parameter is used together with auto_flow_control. The valid values are: 0 pause receive disabled (default) 1 pause receive enabled if auto_flow_control is set to 0, or pause receive advertised if auto_flow_control is set to 1 tx_flow_control Enables or disables transmitting flow control (pause) frames. This parameter is used together with auto_flow_control. The valid values are: 0 pause transmit disabled (default) 1 pause transmit enabled if auto_flow_control is set to 0, or pause transmit advertised if auto_flow_control is set to 1 auto_flow_control Enables or disables auto-negotiation of flow control. This parameter is used together with rx_flow_control and TX_flow_control to determine the advertised flow control capability. The valid values are: 0 flow control auto-negotiation disabled (default) 1 flow control auto-negotiation enabled with capability specified in rx_flow_control and TX_flow_control (only valid if line_speed is set to 0) mtu Enables jumbo frames up to the specified MTU size. The valid range is from 1500 to 8184. --- Bart SCHELSTRAETE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don Leeper wrote: > > >Can anyone tell me how to change the duplex on a > NIC? > > > > Hello, > > Try ethtool , mii-tool or change the values in your > /etc/modules.conf. > (if you're using modules - of course) > > rgrds, > Bart > > > > ATTACHMENT part 2 application/x-pkcs7-signature name=smime.p7s __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
