I need to disable autonegotiation and force 100/Full-Dup for the speed/duplex on an Intel EtherPro on a SuSE 9.1 system. I found a thread in this group back in May that ended with the posting below. Anyone know of changes since then ? I can get my network admin to let the port autonegotiate temporarily, but I need to figure out how to force the card eventually.

In the etc/modules.conf add the options line (if 4 is what you want from the def file): alias eth0 e100 options e100 e100_speed_duplex=4
The problem is that the e100.o modules provided with 9.1 doesn't support the e100_speed_duplex module parameter at all. The only parameter it takes is debug: # modinfo -p e100 debug:Debug level (0=none,...,16=all) Regards -- Simon Oliver
