but I need to figure out how to force the card eventually.
Hi Dave, You can use one of ethtool or mii-tool; which one I think depends upon what the card itself supports. e.g.: outside:/home/lms-new # mii-tool eth0: negotiated 10baseT-FD, link ok outside:/home/lms-new # mii-tool --help usage: mii-tool [-VvRrwl] [-A media,... | -F media] [interface ...] -V, --version display version information -v, --verbose more verbose output -R, --reset reset MII to poweron state -r, --restart restart autonegotiation -w, --watch monitor for link status changes -l, --log with -w, write events to syslog -A, --advertise=media,... advertise only specified media -F, --force=media force specified media technology media: 100baseT4, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, 10baseT-HD, (to advertise both HD and FD) 100baseTx, 10baseT outside:/home/lms-new # mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0 outside:/home/lms-new # mii-tool eth0: 10 Mbit, full duplex, link ok outside:/home/lms-new # Hope this helps.
