Just watchi it if you have more then one ethernet card that need to difference modes. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This computer (with an 8139 ethernet card) is connected to my firewall (with an eepro100) using crossover, and both dmesg and mii-tool say I've got a full duplex connection. -rob msg08015/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Psalms 37:4 | hi, i have the same exact output. dmesg says 100 mb while mii-tool says 10 mb. is it possible mii-tool only works with specific cards, or is a "network tool" rather than a "card tool"? i have two d-link nic's using the rtl8139too driver. according to the other pc, running some other os (for the kids :-(), it is also running at 100 - which it should - but doesn't tell my the duplex. my eth1 is connected to another d-link via a cross-over cable. i thought using a cross-over cable limited you to half-duplex? interesting. take care, jason -- -- | http://jharv.com | http://counter.li.org/| | 2.4.16-k6 | Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Sarge| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | registered linux user #202942 | -- msg07863/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
