Before you ask, I do know how to configure the eepro100 module to run in full duplex mode on a running system -- HOWEVER -- the netboot image is negotiating incorrectly (half-duplex) and since the switch port is set to full-duplex the FTP installation is taking an AMAZINGLY long time... just wondering if anyone had a soluton as to how to configure the eepro100 module to 100Mb full-duplex off of the boot disk. toph -- Obviously, you are incapable of assimilating the extent of my genius.
