Re: DEC21142

I am using the same driver (de4x5) for the network card in my PWS500au. In
SRM I set ew0_mode to FASTFD, so the card is forced to run at 100Mb/s full
duplex. So when the machine starts up the LEDs on my switch show it is
running at 100Mb/s full duplex. Once Linux initialises the driver for eth0,
the card no longer is opertating at full duplex. This can be seen from my
mini switch diagnostic LEDs. Does anyone know how to force the driver to use
full duplex?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,
Reece.
