I'm using kernel 2.2.10 Putting rtl8139 line in /etc/modules didn't anything (don't know why). Meanwhile when compiling as module I've got from syslog file: ---- cut here ------ Aug 9 19:18:49 cavern kernel: rtl8139.c:v1.04 9/22/98 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html Aug 9 19:18:49 cavern kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0x6100, IRQ 9, 00:00:e8:88:80:f3. ------------------- What Windows NT does, that I'm sure I need, it's force both network cards to 10Mbits FullDuplex. I'm unable to get 100Mbits - still didn't test but it seems I've an UTP cat3 cable. :-( So, probably, Linux is not forcing each network card to 10MBits but for autodetecting ... Could someone give me the options I should use to force it to 10 MBits ? I already tried with: "mii-diag -A 10baseT" *and* "mii-diag -F 10baseT" ! It seems to do nothing. Is there any other program to control RTL8139 than mii-diag ? Thanks. Best regards, Nuno Carvalho
