You can use 'ifport' to change theses settings. If this feature is not supported by the driver, you'll see a message indicating that upon execution. If the feature is supported, you can make the change permanent by using the 'up' option in 'interfaces'. Check: # man ifport # man interfaces jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
