Settings for NIC, RH 7.3


I need to be able to change the speed of my NIC from "10BaseT" to "100BaseTX_FullDuplex" How do I do that on Red Hat 7.3, I'm using KDE. (I'm still a bit new to linux, so I'm ok with the command line, I just need extra instruction sometimes)

Thanks

Have a look at 'man ifconfig" and the media type option.

Regards,
Peter

I looked there and so I typed

"ifconfig eth0 media 100baseTX"

and it said back to me:

"port: SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported"

Did I type the right command? Does that mean that the NIC won't do 100baseTX? I got it to do 100baseTX Full_Duplex with win98 on the same machine, do I need a new driver for it on linux? And how do I install the driver.

media type
Set the physical port or medium type to be used by
the device. Not all devices can change this set-
ting, and those that can vary in what values they
support. Typical values for type are 10base2 (thin
Ethernet), 10baseT (twisted-pair 10Mbps Ethernet),
AUI (external transceiver) and so on. The special
medium type of auto can be used to tell the driver
to auto-sense the media. Again, not all drivers
can do this.
