[Rtl-8139] how to disable auto-negotation and set fixed speed?

[ŁPP Rosa <rosa@poznan.telbank.pl>]

Hi all!

    I have written some time ago about LG LPNCII 10/100 Cardbus card on
Realtek 8139 chip based (title: LG LPNCII PCMCIA (Rtl-8139)- cannot even
ping; date: August 6, 2003 20:33 - I did not change the settings apart these
mentioned below ("noapic" does not work either) ). I have tried several
tricks and none of them works :^/. I have checked the Internet for help once
more and find an idea, but I do not know how to do this - I think I need to
do such a "thing":
Auto-negotiation disabled, with Speed fixed at 10 mbps, full-duplex.
or
Auto-negotiation disabled, with Speed fixed at 10 mbps, half-duplex.

Does anybody know how to do this?

I've got 2.4.20 kernel, I use yenta_socket and 8139too module (I also
compiled my 819too_cb but nothing better with this...), laptop: HP OmniBook
5700CTX (P166MMX), the other network card is Intel EtherExpress Pro ISA
(10Mbps I use eepro module), cables and cards are fine, because everything
works under windoze...
I tried to "insmod mii" and "insmod 8139too[_cb] media=0x0001|0x0100|etc."
but all I've got is:
(from dmesg) for example:
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.26
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc8a41000, 00:40:f4:5d:b5:fb, IRQ 10
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
  Forcing 10Mbps half|full-duplex operation.

Am I doing something wrong? Is "media" parameter ok and the values?

But when I try to ping the other computer (of course I did the ifconfig
etc. - I think it's all right)
- dmesg adds after "Forcing 10Mbps [...]"
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0
eth0:  Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. (queue head)
eth0:  Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.

Anyone knows what to do? Any tips? ideas? feel free to wright.
thanks in advance - rosa
