Force 100FD at boot time

doza · 08-27-2004, 11:01 AM

I have a PC here that needs to be set at 100-Full Duplex. I can set it with mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD. When the machine is rebooted, however, it goes back to Auto sensing and ends up with the wrong speed. The port on the switch is set to 100-Full, so it needs to always be at that speed. How can I make this change so that the speed does not change on a reboot?

Thanks

Just place your mii-tool command to the end of /etc/rc.local then it will be executede on each boot.

Thanks! That should do the trick. Seems like there should be options in a config file somewhere, but I'll go with whatever works.

Thanks again.
