Gigabit ethernet detection

Hi guys,

I am trying to build a linux distribution. I want to detect a giga bit ethernet card during installation and set the speed accordingly.

How I am supposed to do this.

any idea

thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean here. The hardware is going to determine the speed at which the card will run. If it is connected to other 1 Gbit devices, then it will communicate at that rate. If everything else is 100 Mbps, then it will drop down to that.

Is there a reason you want to override the auto-sensing in the card?
