change network card to just 10mbps instead of 10/100 auto

Hi!


I have a friend who just purchased an aspire one with linpus linux.


On his windows computer he had to change the settings of the network card to 10mbps instead of auto detect.
I can't seem to fins this setting anywhere in linpus. Can some helpful soul out there help me out?

ethtool wll let you do this:

sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex half

or

sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full

well... you get the idea.

 

dude, thank you. i found that before i read your answer though...


i go sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex half port tp


and it works!!!

the funny thing is that it does not work when i restart/reboot....

doesn't this setting remain?


any ideas? or am i just stupid in some kind of way?


peace

 

No, it doesn't stick... you need to jam it into a startup file -- try /etc/rc.d/rc.local
