4) Auto-negotiation is not working as it should and/or reporting the correct value. You may want to ensure that the NIC is indeed using Half Duplex by issuing the command:
ethtool -s eth0 duplex half
Nick summarily ignored any ethtool commands.
Hub replaced with 10/100 switch. Then nic would auto-negotiate 100Full. However, after some time it would drop to 10/half.
So I invoked Andersen's rule of naughty nics and it went plonk. Slapped an intel nic in, and it negotiates 100/full and stays there.
That's been my experience - in fact, as soon as I saw the nic errors on the initial posting, I said to myself "hmm, that looks like one of those broken 3com cards" Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
