Hi, I'm trying to set up networking with a motherboard that has an onboard = Realtek r8169 nic. Unfortunately, the system autodetects half-duplex and needs to be forced to full duplex. ethtool eth0 fails for the = r8169, and I haven't been able to figure out how to set full duplex. Any ideas?

Look for package netdiag (mine is netdiag-20010114-294); there's a tool called mii-diag (/usr/sbin/mii-diag) - perhaps it is the same as ethtool, but I would give a try... Maybe your boards are really half-duplex... :-) -- Marcos Lazarini

I've had problems like this. Try mii-tool that will probably do it. ethtool and mii-tool seem to work on disjoint sets of network cards. Brana
