Helo everyone. I'm new in linux and for sure I'm new in gentoo which i found in my search for perfect disto. But lets back to point.

I have SiS900 PCI Ethernet card. My network connection is autonegotiated at 100baseT-FD, it's not ok since my network media is 10baseT-FD. I can activate my connection by little trick:

I logon on 3 terminals. In first terminal i start:
Code:
mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0

on the second to see what is happening i start:
Code:
mii-tool -w eth0

and finally on the third terminal i start
Code:
dhcpdc

its restart autonegotiation and again negotiate 100baseT-FD
so in speed of light i back to first terminal and then start...
Code:
mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0

...once again... and again until on third console is 10baseT-FD and dhcpdc is workin.
After this i have working connection

Anny suggestions how to fix it?

mii-tool -A .... does not working - dhcpcd restarts its too. I've try search almost everywere and i found nothig. I hope someone of You could help me. :)

Excuse me for my english. I hope You understand everything. :oops:

cheers

past0R,

The usual way to achieve this is to pass the network module parameters at module load time but looking at Documentation/networking/sis900.txt and drivers/net/sis900.c shows that this particular driver doesn't support media type as a paramenter.

You need to hack drivers/net/sis900.c so the the detection of 100baseT always fails.
