Problems setting NIC into full duplex mode
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear List, We're trying to get an AMD am79C971 network card into 100MB Full Duplex mode. Is there a tool within the S.u.S.E. 7.2 package that provides this feature or is there a commandline tool available?

I'm likely totally wrong, but I do believe you need a switch rather than
a hub to get full duplex. I'm just parrotting what they told me in here.
Since I put in my switches, my network's been faster, so I guess they
were right.

Dear List,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, As the documentation from AMD mentions, it should be possible to alter the state of the interface device (see http://www.amd.com). The only problem that I have is that I can't set the state of the interface device. I want to set it in 100Mbit / Full Duplex, while now I have it running in 100Mbit / Half Duplex (100Mbit because I have it on a 100 Mbit network switch). I tried to alter the state of the device with Yast and Yast2 but you can only ad parameters to the device. I need a tool that actually let's me select what state I want this device should work in.
