 |

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:
and finally on the third terminal i start
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. 
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.
