There is the "ifport" command will configure a port to a specific setting, if you run it with no options it says: # ifport usage: ifport interface [auto|10baseT|10base2|aui|100baseT|##] it will also tell you what the port is set to, like so: # ifport eth0 eth0 0 (Auto) > linux ver - Mandrake 8.1, module used - tulop_cb & cb_enabler Hmm, I'm using Mandrake 9.0, but the nearest I have to that is a module called "xircom_tulip_cb". You can find what parameters can be set on a module by using the modinfo command, so my system says: # modinfo xircom_tulip_cb filename: /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/xircom_tulip_cb.o.gz description: "Xircom CBE-100 ethernet driver" author: "Donald Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" license: "GPL v2" parm: debug int parm: max_interrupt_work int parm: rx_copybreak int parm: csr0 int parm: options int array (min = 1, max = 4) parm: full_duplex int array (min = 1, max = 4) So that will let you set the duplex when the module loads, at least! To do that you will need to add the following line into /etc/modules.conf: options xircom_tulip_cb duplex=? You'd need to look at the documentation or source for the module to find what the various values of duplex match. good luck!
