I have a somewhat problematic ethernet NIC in my laptop and have found that the most reliable way to make it work is to force it to operate in 10 Mbps, half duplex mode. Each morning I arrive at work, attach my laptop to the network, boot up, and type $ sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half and the network works fine all day long. Now, I'm getting tired of this, and I think I ought to be able to force this configuration somewhere. The problem is, I haven't the foggiest idea where to do it in FC5. On Debian, I could edit /etc/network/interfaces and specify a "pre-up" command. In FC5, there is probably some file in /etc/sysconfig/... that I can edit (either by hand, or via a GUI application -- although, I don't see it under System|Network...) to change this, I just don't know where to begin to look. Any pointers? Actually, as long as I'm on the subject, where would be a good place to start to understand the design, concepts, intent, and overall operation of the data stored in /etc/sysconfig? (Please feel free to tell me to read the manual for the answer to that, although "man sysconfig" and "man -k sysconfig" don't tell me anything). --wpd -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
