Dear All.. Does anyone one know how to find out if there NIC is full duplex or not? (Exp..with a 3com card)... Thanks.. Richard :)
Try /sbin/mii-diag ethx (replace x with the number of your NIC). HTH
Hello, Sorry, butting in here......Just for grins, I tried that command on my server machine and got: Basic registers if MII PHY #32: 1000 782d 0000 0000 01e1 0000 0000. Basic mode control register 0x1000: Auto-negotiation enabled. You have link beat, and everything is working OK. Your link partner does not do autonegotiation, and this transceiver type does not report the sensed link speed. What does all this mean? Link beat, link partner? Also, how can full duplex be started? Or is it? BTW, the command had to be run as /usr/sbin/mii-diag ethx. Thanks. -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net SuSE 7.2 Pro
