That did it... it threw me off, because I tried issuing the autoneg off on its own separate command line and it didn't change anything. Issued all at once, it worked. Thanks Garret! Shaun On Thu, 11 May 2006, Garret Rumohr wrote:

Is there a way to force my Intel Pro/1000MT card to work at 100 Mbits that I'm overlooking? (I need to do so for loops that tech support at netgear is putting me through to prove to them that their switch is broken.)

I tried using ethtool to do so and it just doesn't seem to want to correct anything...

Try turning autonegotiation off as well. Something like: # /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
