There are no entries in syslog.conf for /dev/tty1 (local console) or any other console except a "|/dev/xconsole" entry which seems to be for some mail related messages. tty1 is where the login prompt and the eth0: messages appear after the boot sequence. I just can't figure out how to suppress certain messages by using syslog.conf. > I suggest you install mii-diag to troubleshoot this problem, with > mii-diag you can monitor auto-negotiation. > You might want to force 100 full duplex ;) if available at > the other end > of the wire... Sorry, I forgot to mention that the network card reads "for 10baseT or Coax" on it.
