Not quite. I have a machine with two DEC 21140 chip ethernet cards in it. I wish to have one at 100Mb and the other at 10Mb. I have the first one plugged into a port on a Cisco Catalyst 5000 switch. The switch detects 100Mb full-duplex, however ifconfig still says 10Mb and I get huge packet loss, presumably due to the speed mismatch. How do you get the cards to go at 100Mb? > On Wed, 18 Jun 1997, Richard L Shepherd wrote: > > > > This is just a quickie, and I'm sure it's an easy one too: > > > > Does Linux support any/all 100 Mbit capable ethernet cards? i.e. is it > > possible to use 100 Mbit ethernet with Linux? > > 8<--------------------------------------->8 Richard Shepherd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 8<--------------------------------------->8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
