Re: forcing D-Link 530 into Full-Duplex

2000-09-29 Thread Tony Mollica
I'm certainly no expert at this but I'm not quite sure how to pass the full_duplex parameter to a driver that is compiled into the kernel. You may have to modify the source for that. But if you compile the via-rhine driver as a module you can pass the parameter two ways that I know. You can inte

I don't think so! The rtl8139 driver is ONLY for the DFE530TX+, the DFE530TX uses the via-rhine driver. They are not interchangeable. Alvin Oga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: : hi ya... : try using the RT1839 driver instead ??? : have fun : alvin : http://www.linux-1U.net3 NIC 1Us.1U Rai

forcing D-Link 530 into Full-Duplex

2000-09-28 Thread Arcady Genkin
I have a D-Link 530 card using a compiled-in via-rhine driver as eth0. The card is talking to an identical card in a computer that runs FreeBSD. I'm seeing collisions on the Linux side of the link, and am wondering what parameters I should pass the kernel to force the card into Full-duplex 100base
