To set lan at 10 base full duplexmii-tool -F 10baseT-FD Re: eth1 save settings

there's probably a far more elegant way of doing this but, this should be functional for ya. edit /etc/rc.local as root with your favorite text editor and add the line: Code:
mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth1 /etc/init.d/networking restart

before the line that says "exit 0" save ... reboot ... should be all better. if not, let me know and i'll come up with an alternative.
To make these settings permanent you need to create a script into the directory /etc/init.d/ directory and run update-rc.d command to update the script.

Install script to make changes permanent $ vi /etc/init.d/100Mbs or $ sudo vi /etc/init.d/100Mbs #!/bin/sh ETHTOOL=/usr/sbin/ethtool DEV=eth0 SPEED=100 duplex full case $1 in start) echo -n Setting eth0 speed 100 duplex full; $ETHTOOL -s $DEV speed $SPEED; echo done.;; stop) ;; esac exit 0

Save and close the file. Setup executable permission: $ chmod +x /etc/init.d/100Mbs or $ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/100Mbs Now run script when Debian or Ubuntu Linux boots up. Use update-rc.d command install System-V style init script links: $ update-rc.d 100Mbs defaults or $ sudo update-rc.d 100Mbs defaultsOutput: Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc0.d/K20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc1.d/K20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc6.d/K20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc2.d/S20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc3.d/S20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc4.d/S20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs /etc/rc5.d/S20100Mbs -> ../init.d/100Mbs Reboot the system to take effect or just type scrit name: $ /etc/init.d/100Mbs start or $ sudo /etc/init.d/100Mbs start
