I guess this could be seen as more generic Linux problem than RedHat Linux, but ... I've been trying to get my old laptop with 3com FE575BT PCMCIA network card to work nicely with rest of LAN at work. Combination seems to work relatively nicely, when you are using it at 10Mbps mode. Unfortunately LAN is locked to 100Mbps full-duplex and local network admins don't seem to be interested (since they only support Microsoft Win* users). I've managed to define correct lines into /etc/modules.conf so that all boxes with 3com PCI network cards will go to correct mode, when kernel module is loaded in, but that PCMCIA always seems to go into 100Mbps half-duplex, which is real nightmare (i.e. I get something like ~7kB/s when I download RPM updates from server, which is only couple hops away (and the bottleneck is between TP600 and first switch)). Has anyone else faced same problem and have you been able to find solution for it? (other than to buy newer laptop, which would have network card integrated into motherboard :)
