Hi Simon,
What the two others state is true, modifying 'modules.conf' is the
best. If you are trying to get two 10/100 boards to connect at 100 Mb
using a x-over cable, it will not negotiate faster than 10 Mb. It
requires a hub to initiate that. 10/100 Mb full duplex is just a
matter of having a cable with 1&2 -> 1&2, 3&6 -> 3&6, 4&5 -> 4&5, and
7&8 -> 7&8, and a hub that supports it. At 10 Mb, a crossover cable
will get you your 10+10=20, but again not 100+100=200. I hope this
helps.
Regards, Andrew
