Just checked /proc/interrupts and both LAN cards are fine and dandy with
their own irq.

Sorry for being a bit dumb but how do I do this?  I've searched the doc
for 'ifconfig' and also looked though linuxconf.  It can't be that hard
to enable full-duplex for a card, can it?!  I had a hard time searching
goggle and linuxdocs for anything.
