a NIC detection utility.
Thanks,
Chuck

What is the exact model of your NIC?
If it is a 3Com 3C90x, 59x or 5x9, you should be able to run the 3Com config
utility. You'll need to make a DOS bootable floppy and copy the utility to
that.
There are option for force the NIC to a particular speed and duplex.
That is where I would start.
If you are going to a switch, you MUST force the NIC to 100Mbps and Full
duplex. Otherwise the switch can get confused. Make sure also that the
switch is set to 100Mbps and Full duplex.
If that doesn't help you let me know.

Subject: NIC's stuck at 10Meg
I have two 3Com NIC's in a RH62 box using the '3c59x' driver. They are
10/100 cards but stuck at 10. If I reboot and then plug the cable into a
NIC, it will initially read 100M link, but some time later it changes to 10.
These NIC's plug directly into an HP switch, and I have many other RH62
boxes (with intel and 3com NICs) on this switch with no problems (all ports
on the switch are configured identically).
I have played with a utility called 'mii-diag' the admin before me used that
can disable auto-negotiation and force 100 Megabit. This utility is not
working on this machine.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Here is the output of this
'mii-diag' utility:
[root@fir /root]# mii-diag eth1
Basic registers of MII PHY #0: c000 c000 c000 c000 c000 c000 c000 c000.
Basic mode control register 0xc000: Auto-negotiation disabled, with
Speed fixed at 10 mbps, half-duplex.
Transceiver in loopback mode!
Transceiver currently being reset!
Basic mode status register 0xc000 ... c000.
Link status: not established.
Your link partner advertised c000:.
This NIC is working, ie: traffic is going to and from the box fine, just
stuck at 10M. I also have no documentation on this 'mii-diag' utility and
here is the help option:
[root@fir /root]# mii-diag --help
Usage: mii-diag [-aDfrRvVw] [-AF <to-advertise>] [--watch] <interface>.
In the past on other machines I have used this command to force 100M:
'mii-diag -F 100BaseTX-FD eth1'
Thanks greatly for any help,
-Chuck
