RE: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit
I tried to put mii-tool in ifup. That doesn't work. I think because mii-tool need some time to initialize. When I do a mii-tool --advertise=10baseT-FD,10baseT-HD mii-tool I get a no-link output. When I wait a second and rerun mii-tool everything is o.k. Rob Try putting your mii-tool command in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup round about line 329 just before DHCP is configured. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit
Thanks for all reactions. I finally got my internet working. I have to run mii-tool --advertise=10baseT-FD,10baseT-HD After that I have to run dhclient, every time I boot up my computer. Is there a more elegant way to do this automatically? Or is there some misconfiguration (because I have to do this every time) When I run network setting in the Mandrake control center, I have to rerun mii-tool. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob van Dam Sent: vrijdag 9 augustus 2002 8:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit I tried several settings with mii-tool.

When I do a modprobe, the driver is loaded without any warning. The lights on de switch keep on blinking though. And starting the network (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start) takes a very long time. I had the same problem in Windows and the only solution was to turn auto detection off. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Joeb Verzonden: maandag 7 juli 2003 6:36 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: [newbie] fix sis900 networkcard to 10 mbit If you do a modprobe sis900, what do you get?
