Re: [gentoo-user] Best way to keep a networkcard into 100mbit full duplex

[Nick Niemeyer]

Good Hardware is not the answer.  Even with all Cisco equipment and high end cards you will still eventually run into the problem of endless autosensing.  This is horrible for network performance.  You need to push the card into 100 Full Duplex on startup either through ethtool or via a driver option.  I can't remember any more at the moment, I hope this helps.

I would have said, good hardware.
