 |
|
I used ethtool to force the settings on my nic. Do I need to do anything to make sure these settings are used the next time I reboot? Here's the relevant system info:
Graphite iMac VE, 400MHz G3
NIC: sungem (compiled as module)
kernel: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6
I know, it's a pathetically old and slow machine, but I had it laying around and figured I'd testdrive gentoo on it.
Thanks.

should tell you what startup parameters it accepts; you can set these in modules.autoload.
If you compile it into the kernel (only if it works well) you have to give the parameters on the kernel command line.
If none of these are possible then you'll have to run ethtool on startup, say in /etc/conf.d/local.start.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately modinfo doesn't tell me anything useful about the sungem module. I ended up emerging ethtool and adding it to /etc/conf.d/local.start. That seems to work fine.
Thanks.
