    Hi, I am after some advice for setting a RTL8139 NIC to 100MB full duplex on
    a non-modular kernel.

     

    I can do this with a modular kernel, but am not sure how to go about it on a
    monolithic kernel. The mii-tool does not seem to support the rtl8139 driver
    installed with the 2.4.26 kernel and reports incorrectly that the card is
    already at 100baseT-FD. using rtl8139-diag shows the eeprom is set to
    10baseT-HD but for the life of me cannot work out how to set it to
    100baseT-FS (have tried rtl8139-diag -w -F 100baseT-FD without success).

     

    Any advice will be much appreciated.

     

    Thx

    Gerard
