Is there a way to fix the Ethernet speed using NM or ifconfig? Or, more to the point, is there any way to solve this?
try ethtool Thanks, Patrick, next time I try xen or restart after a system-level update, I'll try ethtool.

Last night it occurred to me that I might not have to wait to try it out; I should be able to set it interactively down, then up, if I could set it at all. Sure enough, tana:~ # ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full autoneg off set it to 10mbps, and the light on my router turned off, then amber. Then, tana:~ # ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off set it to 100mbps, and the light turned green. Thanks much, Patrick. oh, btw, I found a really neat site while googling for help with ethtool: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/ It gave a clear explanation with examples (I couldn't figure out the syntax or use from man). jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
