NIC Settings

[Robert Tidwell]

How do you change the NIC settings on internal NIC for DL380 G3 running Mandrake 9.0?

[Jon_87]

You can pass flags when loading the module like this:

insmod eepro100.o debug=1 options=0x100,0,0x20

The eepro100 is a thrd party driver, the Intel e100 can accept the same types of flags. Search thier site or Gogle for linux tuning.

For the most part all these are set to aut-negotiate. The only time I have used these was with flakey Cisco IOS flapping the switch, and I locked in the speeds in the IOS and on the Linux servers.

Try the command mii-tool (RH 8 ). Read the man pages is your NIC are supported.

[root@]# mii-tool
eth0: no autonegotiation, 10baseT-HD, link ok
[root@]#
