Re: Where to put module option in Etch?

[Steffen.Pelzetter@nexans.com]

Something is not working.

I created the tulip file in /etc/modprobe.d/ :

options tulip options=5

But dmesg say's:

Both nic's running in autosense mode.

If I do a 

modprobe tulip options=5

I got:

So tulip0 is 100FDX but tulip1 is still autosense mode.
What's going wrong?
I need tulip1 at least configured in 100FDX.
