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 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. > > > On 6/6/06, Joshua Schmidlkofer wrote: > > Why isn't it auto-detecting the link speed? > > > > > > > > -- > > Ghaith Hachem > TristMoon Staff > TristMoon.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
