Where do you set the duplex and speed of your NIC in Debian (or

My server is in half duplex (as I have collisions showing in

I can not seem to find this anywhere?
Thank you in advance.
If it is anything like my redhat system,
man mii-tool

Why don't you check why it is going to half-duplex? This usually
indicates a serious problem, as this is the last fall-back of
auto-negotiation....
Problem can range from:
- faulty switch
- incorrect switch setting
- faulty cable
forcing to full duplex without researching the underlying problem
will likely only generate more problems. Also the transmission time
you mention is indicating more problems than just duplex mismatch.
I'll second this. There was a time when setting the speed/duplex
was almost required for Cisco switches. Not sure anymore. Trying to
force speed/duplex on an HP switch will cause nothing but problems.
I say start with everything auto and go from there.
Just from my own experience, it is not uncommon to see duplex
incorrectly detected between various cards and switches. We have had
situations where we needed to set the duplex (which is where I
remembered the command from), but we're way OT now.
