Hi Eric,

For 100 full I did the correct configuration (thanks for your tip), 
which needs this command
# /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

But, for QuadEthernet, I already did this, and I´m still receiveing this 
messages

ethX: Link down, cable problem?
ethX: Auto-Negotiation unsuccessful, trying force link mode

How can I set those interfaces to be admin down ? I sent this command to 
try to do it
# ifconfig eth0 down

When I was using Solaris, and some eth cable was unconnected, I usually 
received this message in the console screen.
Do you believe that this is a bios message instead a OS message ?
