Ghaith, I think that you shouldn't do this this way, but so be it. It's generally spekaing to 'force' a specific setting. In most cards and switches this disables all negotiation, and can lead to all sorts of strange problems. Especially regard duplex issues.
put this in /etc/conf.d/net pre(){ if [ ${IFACE} == "eth0" ]; then mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0 fi sleep .3 } That ought to work. If that doesn't work, then emerge sync and update baselayout. thanks, Joshua On 6/5/06, Ghaith Hachem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
well actually it can function on 100 mbps but it would be extremly slow for some reason (really long cable) so the isp just told me to keep the link at 10 mbps.
