Its an ip27 origin 200 with what hinv -v reports as a adapter IOC3 Rev 1, (pci id 2) controller multi function SuperIO controller Ethernet Rev 1 I did a little searching online anhttp://www.scd.ucar.edu/nets/docs/procs/SGI-100mbps/SGI-auto.htmld found a lot of references to origins having problems with the autonegotiation timing out to fast, but the only fix that I've found has to do with editing part of the kernel. here's a link to one that I found. http://www.scd.ucar.edu/nets/docs/procs/SGI-100mbps/SGI-auto.html could this be part of the problem? Thanks for the quick response, atleast I know I'm not alone.
