Many modules for ethernet cards supoort extra options for insertion on the command line. These can sometimes include specifications like IRQ, IO Ports, and things like full/half duplex , 10BaseT/100BaseT/Autosense.
If the suggestions below dont help, then examine the args for your driver, rmmod the module and modprobe with the test args. Once you find a working setting you can the set up your system to keep the setting. -ME Gabriel Rosa said: > > You can use /sbin/ifconfig to set up interface related settings. > have a look at 'man ifconfig' > > as a quickie, you might be able to do: > > /sbin/ifconfig eth0 media 10baseT > > > to get it to persist on boot, you'll either need to add it to your init > somewhere, or figure out where your system keeps the network config files. > On my Debian box, it's /etc/network/interfaces.
