We have pcchips motherboard with sis900 nics. the problem is, they are standardly set to autonegociate and will work with 10mbps half-duplex but we do need 10mbps full-duplex. we can set it to 10baseT-FD with "mii-tool" or "ethtool" but after link-loss the will do autonegociate to 10baseT-HD again. we cant ever change this by hand on a few hundred computers. Is there any way to configure this on our debian machines by an option in /etc/network/interfaces (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 on suse) or the sis900 module option? I tried the opt. "media 10baseT-FD" but that wount work. on our suse linux boxes it is more difficult. some of these haves a 2.6 kernel and there mii-tool or ethtool wount work too! has anywone experience with running a debian linux / 2.4.28 kernel suse linux 9.0 / 2.4.. kernel suse linux 9.1 / 2.6.. kernel and a static configuration for sis900 on 10mbps and full-duplex (10baseT-FD)? if anyone could help, it would be very nice if you could give me a hint how to solve this problem - maybe it ist very easy to configure?
