Hi I have got two laptops. If I connect one of them up to a 10mbs ethernet connection; it recognises the connection immediately and I can happily transfer files immediately. However my second laptop just will not work at 10Mbs. 100Mbs is not aproblem, but 10Mbps is simply not recognised. Initially I thought it might be the on-board network card, so I bought a netgear FA511 adaptor in the hope that that would work ok. It has exactly the same problem. Both the laptops are running Fedora-6 ( I would update the failing one if I thought that it would make a difference). The failing laptop simply does not see the 10Mbs signal. The laptop that works has a Broadcom coporation BCM4401-B0 adaptor. I tryed the failing laptop with the onboard SIS900 PCI fast ethernet adaptor and the netgear 10/1000 mbps fast ethernet adaptor (FA511). Both refuse to detect 10Mbps. I tryed setting the speed directly, but it did not seem to help (mii-tool). Has anyone got any ideas as to why this laptop does not detect 10Mbps (100Mbps is fine) or what I might try to fix the problem. I cant really believe that both these adaptors would fail especially the netgear one.
