Hi all, I get the message: "eth0: switching to forced 100bt eth0: switching to forced 10bt" on the console when I bootup or when I exit X and go to a console.
Presuming that these came from syslogd I have edited syslog.conf and commented out all notices, warnings etc to the console. /etc/syslog.conf ..... # NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a # reasonably busy site.. # # MRL 16 Jun: commented out the lines below to stop warning messages: # "eth0: switching to forced 100bt" messages to console. #daemon.*;mail.*;\ # news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\ # *.=debug;*.=info;\ # *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole I did a HUP of syslogd and since then I have rebooted but I am still getting that message on the console AND in /var/log/messages so I presume its not coming from syslogd.

The SunGEM docs mention a config file, but I have yet But this donesnt apply to me I dont think. Apparently via google SunGem is an eth driver chip. I dont have any mention of SunGem in my .config for my kernel. Machine is Ti Powerbook and Debian stable. Any Ti P/B users here have this prob ?
