Stupid me, next time I check first :-( > Shouldnīt work: > > ifconfig <driver> media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex > > But didnīt try myself. This gives me a "device not configured" error. At least for the rl driver: ifconfig <driver> media 10baseT/UTP refers to half-duplex and ifconfig <driver> media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex defaults to full-duplex Just read in the archives that this is true also for the intel ether express cards. The man page for rl is very confusing about this, because the relevant parts read like: 10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation. The mediaopt option can also be used to select either full-duplex or half-duplex modes. 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The mediaopt option can also be used to select either full-duplex or half-duplex modes. The rl driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Force full duplex operation half-duplex Force half duplex operation. *end man page* This is apparently wrong. I never checked how to change docs. Anybody has a suggestion, what I should do now?
