Anyone know off the top of their head the "right" way to hard set a link automatically to 100Mbps Full Duplex, etc using the ifup or ifcfg files? Don't see options in the scripts that might cover this, but maybe there's a more elegant way to do it than to do something in rc.local or hack up the ifup files myself... Ray

But note that if you hard set one side of a link you must do the same on the other (switch) side or it will take the lack of negotiation to mean that it must assume half duplex. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
