I sent the following to the eepro mailing list and have had no response, I thought I'd give the good ol' plug a try. If anyone knows a better way to force speed and duplex negotiation, please let me know! ---> snip For some reason, when we use the mii-diag utility to force 100mbs - Full Duplex we get a ton of Alignment errors on our catalyst. Anyone have any ideas? 1. The cards are eepro100's with 100mbs link-lights on. 2. The ports on the switch are set to 100-FD 3. When changing the ports on the switch to 10-FD 99% of the errors go away, but speed is reduced dramatically. (imagine that.) 4. I've downloaded the SRPMS for redhat and recompiled the drivers, mii-diag, and eepro100-diag, all goes well. Still seems to be the same situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
