If you have debian it is: # apt-get install mii-diag # mii-diag -f 10base-T FWIW, I *HATE* the DeskPro 4000 NIC. The chipset purports to support Auto Negotiation, but does 'Auto Sensing' -- it just guesses at the network speed and duplex. It frequently guesses the speed and duplex wrong. I was responsible for rolling out a switched network and we had to locate and force about 80 of these machines to 10/Half, since they would not play nice. When we got rid of the last one, it was a happy day for me....
