Hello,

I want to configure my network-card to run in full-duplex mode. The description above from raj seems to work for me but I want to understand my settings (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10):

contents of /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:14:5e:cc:40:ee
Code:
BOOTPROTO='none'
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='speed=100 duplex=full autoneg=off'
NAME='IBM NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet'
STARTMODE='off'
UNIQUE='rBUF.2uuZ5oJ5QB6'
USERCONTROL='no'
_nm_name='bus-pci-0000:03:00.0'
Here you see the ETHTOOL_OPTIONS-variable. But I can't figure out when the ethtool was called with these options.

A grep over my etc-directory (grep -ri ethtool .) shows me only the entries in ifcfg*-files.

And here another confusing message (from /var/log/boot.msg):
Code:
    eth0      device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)
    eth0      configuration: eth-id-00:14:5e:cc:40:ee
    eth0      Startmode is 'off'
skipped    eth1      device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)
    eth1      configuration: eth-id-00:14:5e:cc:40:f0
    eth1      Startmode is 'off'
skipped    bond0
"ethtool bond0 speed=100 duplex=full autoneg=off" failed.
    bond0     enslaving interfaces:  eth0 eth1
    bond0     IP address: 10.40.0.16/22   as bonding master
doneSetting up service network  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .done
It seems that the ethtool can't be executed successfully.

Who can help me?
