Re: [gentoo-user] ethernet link speed
thank you for your reply,i will try that setup when i get home, but for now the network seems functioning on 100mbps though sometimes it disconnects unexpectedly however it has been stable for 2 days,anyway i was trying to force that setting as instructed from the ISP, though i never had to do that before, so i guess if i'm still going to face problem with the 100 mbps i'll have to force it.

Re: [gentoo-user] ethernet link speed
Ghaith,
I think that you shouldn't do this this way, but so be it. It's
generally spekaing to 'force' a specific setting. In most cards and
switches this disables all negotiation, and can lead to all sorts of
strange problems. Especially regard duplex issues.
put this in /etc/conf.d/net
pre(){
if [ ${IFACE} == eth0 ]; then
mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0
fi
sleep .3
}
That ought to work. If that doesn't work, then emerge sync and update
baselayout.
thanks,
Joshua

well actually it can function on 100 mbps but it would be extremly slow for
some reason (really long cable) so the isp just told me to keep the link at
10 mbps.

Why isn't it auto-detecting the link speed?

[gentoo-user] ethernet link speed
hello,i need to get my ethernet link speed to 10Mbits full duplex i'm using mii-tool to do it but is there a way to do it before net.eth0 starts at boot, maybe some line to add in /etc/conf.d/net i added the normal command i'm usign though it didn't seem to work, i then added it to /etc/init.d/net.eth0 i think it should work there i havn't tested yet but is there any better way to do that thank you.-- Ghaith HachemTristMoon StaffTristMoon.com

Add it to the preup(0 or postup(0 section of /etc/conf.d/net
if [ ${IFACE} == eth0 ]; then
mii-tool -blah...
fi
ISTR reading somewhere that ethtool is preferred over mii-tool.
