Never. However, due to the requirements of datacenter, the machine must *not* default to slower autonegotiation. I haven't yet found a way via YaST to do this.
Maybe I'm missing something.... are we discussing if SuSE 9.1 is a Home Desktop Solution or a Datacenter class server?
Also, if the machine is rebooted for some reason, then I would have to remember to drive to the datacenter, log in, and change the duplex. This is extremely stupid and stands against The Unix Way.
I repeat myself: Maybe I'm missing something.... are we discussing if SuSE 9.1 is a Home Desktop Solution or a Datacenter class server? [snip] regards, ===== Riccardo G. Facchini
