Re: [gentoo-user] ethernet link speed

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
