HowTo set rtl8139 NIC to 100baseTx-FD (full duplex)
Could someone plese tell me how to set the rtl8139 NIC to 100baseTx-FD. I have used several tools without any success. In Windows the speed is 100baseTx-FD (full duplex) but when I reboot back to Linux the speed goes back to 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have a realtek 8139 as well, and as I mentioned in another post, those diag tools simply don't work for our cards. I know for a fact that my card runs at 100mbps full duplex (it says so at bootup, and I've had download speeds exceeding 10mbps) and mii-diag, mii-tool and rtl8139-diag still says "10mbps half duplex", so don't trust that program. Check /var/log/messages for bootup messages from the driver module. regards Anders On Saturday 24 November 2001 15:35, jayhen wrote:
