    If you have mii-tool installed you can force the NIC to 100MB-FD by running
    the following command: mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0. To force this on a
    reboot use the full path command and stick it in your /etc/rc.local file.

    Subject: Configuring NIC Card

    Hi all,

    We recently upgraded our network switch to a 10/100 Mbps switch. We've
    set the port on the switch to be 100/full. I've also set my linux boxes
    to 100 full using "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
    and everything works great. So, I have two questions:

    1. When a machine is rebooted it defaults to 100 half-duplex instead of
    100/full. How can I get it to stay at 100 full?

    2. If there a way to configure this via kickstart? I'm worried that
    when a machine needs to be rebuilt, this setting won't take effect.

    Any help is appreciated....thanks,

    Ryan
