#5 Stuck at 10baseT

[Anonymous]

I can not get this card to go 100 MBPS.

Verified cables, different computer on same cable is ok, works at 100. All other computers on this lan operate at 100.

Kernel is gentoo 2.6.24-r2 with attansic driver compiled into the kernel. (but it is labeled experimental)

fooling around with mii-diag, mii-diag -r, mii-diag --A, etc with no luck.

Ok, it appears that there is a problem with the driver and my Linksys ethernet hub. Perhaps there is a way to tell the driver not to attempt 1G speed ?

With a crossover cable to another computer it works ok at 100.

With the linksys hub it only works at 10.
