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)
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.
man ifconfig

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.
