Before I wiped this machine out, it was Windows 2000 AS. Now it's RHAT 7.1
:> (no applause necessary) When it was a M$ box it successfully negotiated
to 100FULL. Now I can only get it to auto negotiate to 10HALF. I found some
info on setting the NIC in the /etc/modules.conf with the OPTIONS= parameter
(see below) but when I reload the box, the NIC eth0 fails to initialize
---------modules.conf -----------------
alias eth0 e100
options e100 options=0x30
---------------------------------------
Still searching.....

Just a suggestion. I've put together Cat-5 cables that would communicate
at 10, but not at 100. Something about the way they were twisted at the
ends and such. But 10/100 cards would only go at 10 on those cables. And
yes, they were definitely Cat-5, not Cat-3.
