How to change NIC speed on SuSE 9.1 Pro
How do I change the NIC speed from 10Mbps to 1Gbps? Below are some relevant info. The machine is a Dell PE1750. The corresponding port on the Cisco 6509 switch is set to auto-negotiate. hostname:~ # /etc/init.d/network status Checking optional network interfaces: eth0 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) eth0 configuration: eth-id-00:0f:1f:67:d8:5c eth0 IP address: x.x.x.x/24 running eth1 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) eth1 No configuration found for eth1 unused Checking mandatory network interfaces: lo lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 running Checking service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . running hostname:~ # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 10Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) Link detected: yes Thanks, Peter Escudero

This is not a security related question, so I'm afraid you will get few answers. Better ask in suse-linux-e list, for example. A guess: if your card is setting itself to 10mbps, the cable is very probably bad or wrong type. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDx5vdtTMYHG2NR9URAlQEAJ9Blv0AXNgbn1ihAQ+j5NpqRX5s5QCfcDtI qOco8DPUXGtF0cqfcNR6ACs= =UA57 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
