Intel Pro 100 works with all the distros I have used and it's easy to setup since the OS finds it almost all of the time.

Hi, guys.. I'm looking for an Ethernet Card....There are too many products so that I'm getting confused....which will be the better compatible and easy to set up....? By the way, OS is SuSE 8.0 Personal.

I can onluy get my 100 Pro into 100/half duplex mode - anyone have any pointers to activate full duplexz ???

This should fix the speed to 100Mbit full duplex: # mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0 If not: Do you connect to a hub? Does that hub support full duplex? Try a cross cable directly between two nodes and see if full duplex is autonegotiated (or try the above command again). HTH, Marcel

Ummm... I'm not sure what hubs you have used in the past, or what your background is... but I have yet to see a "hub" that supports full duplex. Since hubs are basically an condensed ethernet backbone, and subject to standard CS/CDMA, all the hubs I have ever seen only support half-duplex. Switches on the other hand, should be capable of full duplex at 10 or 100 or whatever speeds they support. - Herman Jon Biddell wrote:
OK - well, I think you should check the actual throughput on the links next time you try that... but here is an excerpt from a document that talks about the differences between hub and switches and explains in simple detail why hubs operate in half duplex mode.

That's funny. I've encountered this problem once. Cost me a lot of time and turned out to be caused by slightly different (IBM) firmware for the Intel pro 100. See if the OEM manufacturer of your card has a Linux utility for it. IBM does. Marcel
