Hi All, I have 2 3com 3c980c-txm network cards. I am having trouble to get them running at 100 full duplex. ethtool reports the cards are running at 10 half duplex I have tried the following: ethtool -s ethx autoneg off duplex full speed 100 After that ethtool reports the card is running at 100 full duplex. But the card is actually still running at the speed of 10 half duplex. I installed winxp on the machine to see if i will have the same problem but in winxp it works 100% running at 100 full duplex. Can anyone help me out getting it to work at 100 full duplex under suse9.3? Thanks Regards ___________________________________________________________________ For super low premiums, click here http://www.webmail.co.za/dd.pwm http://www.webmail.co.za the South African FREE email service

Hi IC, I don't know if your solution is there, but 3Com provides a Linux driver with documention for that card. It might be worth having a look. Here's the link: http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/result.jsp?selected=all&sort=effdt&sku=3C980C-TXM&order=desc regards, Carl
I have downloaded the driver for the 3c980c-txm nic. When i
want to install the driver i get the following:
Attempting to install the 2.6.11.4-20a-default version of
the 3c90x
driver module.
You are running the 2.6.11.4-20a-default version of kernel
release...
The 3c90x driver module was not built for this kernel
release.
You will need to compile the driver yourself.
Installation of 3c90x driver module failed.
How do i compile the driver?
Thanks
Regards

Hi IC, (Can you please not top-post? Thanks!) I didn't point you to the 3Com site to imply that you needed to compile your own module/driver! I pointed you there to make sure you had all the OEM documentation, including the Linux bits, needed to understand how that card works, what chips it uses, what... if any... special setup needs it has and which unique commands or parameters it accepts. If the driver that is already installed and working just doesn't work in full duplex mode, I'd be looking at fine-tuning the current configuration, first, before going too much deeper. Another very helpful avenue I'd suggest you try is to Google the 3com model number with (no quotes) "Linux" and "full duplex". regards, Carl
I had to add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf to get the
cards running at 100 full:
options duplex_full=1,1
