Xircom_cb - tulip ethernet chip

[Linda W]

Hi...

I have a Xircom Cardbus 10/100 HD/FD duplex card that seems to always be 
booting
into 10Mb/s.  It's connected to a 10/100 switch that most everything 
else connects
at 100Mb to, but the Xircom is connecting at the lower speed.

I notice a bunch of options that can be specified to the Tulip driver in 
the
drivers/net/tulip directory in the file tulip_core.c.  How do I pass 
these options
to the running driver?  Can I change it "on the fly", or do I need to 
pass the
options in on the command line?  If that's the case, how do I include the
option?  Just place it,  naked, on the command line and hope that the 
module will
see the argument and it will "just work"?  Seems a bit of a shot in the 
dark -- like
I might have to say something like "net=option" or "tulip=option" or 
something...

Any help/hints?  How to specify options to the module doesn't seem to be 
covered
in the Documentation section (Documentation/DocBook/tulip-user.tmpl).

Thanks,
Linda

There is a program named mii-tool which can change the interface.
