Description Max Nokhrin 2004-08-23 08:11:17 UTC
When I boot, autoneg detects the network settings as 10mbpsT-HD. However, the port on the switch is set to 10baseT-FD. I have a bcm5704 card which uses the bcm5700 driver (according to bootup screen). In order to override this, I am forced to add a mii-tool --force=10baseT-FD to my local.start script. However, I think that there should be an option that I can set in the bootup scripts to turn autoneg off and force a setting there.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-18 06:50:03 UTC
Thats a rather old/broken kernel. Please try 2.6.10 and/or 2.6.11-rc4
Comment 4 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-16 06:08:05 UTC
Need you to confirm the issue still exists on latest kernels
