Jim,
Try looking in /usr/src/linux/Documentation, the kernel documentation
directory. More specifically, the networking directory. Most cards have
documentation that shows how to change duplex settings. I don't know about
recompiling, its usually just a parameter passed when you load the module.
If its a 3com card, there are some nice utils written by Donald Becker that
can change the settings directly on the card, though I like the module
params myself.
http://www.scyld.com/network/
is the linux networking site maintained by Donald Becker. Its a pretty good
place to start with tons of very useful documentation and usuage
instructions for a lot of the linux network cards. i found all the duplex
settings for my 3com cards on this site, they work great! i learned that
forcing the card to 100full, if supported by the card and switch, works
better than autonegotiation. your mileage may vary though. good luck!
