Subject says it all. I'd like to set my NIC (eth0) to be 100 Mb / Full Duplex rather than auto-negotiate.

What's the best (simplest) way to do this in Red Hat 9?

I searched but not much luck.

Thanks.

ethtool

The man page on the kid is pretty simple... you could put a call to ethtool in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

I just took a look through:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

and couldn't find anything in there...

Cheers,
