Re: [leaf-user] How do I set eepro nic to 100mbit?

2002-07-31 Thread Vladimir B. Savkin

Thus spake Kory Krofft:
 Can someone tell me how I can force my internal NIC (Intel 10/100 using
 PCI eepro module) to run at 100mb full duplex? My switch does not
 support
 autosense and everytime I reset it I have to reboot the firewall to get
 my connection back.

'options=48' parameter will force eepro100 module to 100baseTX-FD

 The firewall is a Dachstein floppy based unit connected to a UPS so it 
 never goes down. 
 
 Thank you,
 
 Kory Krofft

Vladimir, Ray, and all,

I was using the eepro. I switched to the eepro100 which works well but
has the same problem. The one missing piece is regarding the
options=48
parameter. Where do I enter this line?

In /etc/modules, after the module name on the line that insmod's the 
module. It is sort of like a command-line argument.

If I read the source right (eepro.c, that is), full duplex is enabled by 
default (the only code that disables it is associated with use of a 10Base2 
port). Although there is code in the module to read the AutoNegotiation bit 
in the NIC's EEPROM, there is no code to set that bit. So unless there is a 
separate program to set card parameters, I think you are out of luck 
(unless you can get and run the card's own, probably DOS or Windows based, 
config program).
