A: If the driver is compiled into the kernel, one must add the following line
to /etc/lilo.conf:
append="ether=0,0,0x30,eth0"
If one is using modules, then add the following to the /etc/conf.modules
file after the "alias eth0 eepro100" line:
options eepro100 options="0x30"
Note: Thanks to Don Holmgren for the answers.
The following are all the options available for the EEPR100 card:
In most cases no transceiver override option need be set. A notable exception
is when connecting to a older ethernet switch that
operates in full-duplex mode but does not do NWay autonegotation. The driver
options flags are recognized:
Hex Decimal Meaning
0x10 16 Force Full-Duplex operation (must be used with 0x20 or 0x40)
0x20 32 Force 100mbps-only operation
0x40 64 Force 10mbps-only
Therefore, option 0x30 == 0x20 + 0x10 ( Force 100mbps-only + Force full duplex)
