Not quite. I have a machine with two DEC 21140 chip ethernet cards in it.
I wish to have one at 100Mb and the other at 10Mb. I have the first one
plugged into a port on a Cisco Catalyst 5000 switch. The switch detects
100Mb full-duplex, however ifconfig still says 10Mb and I get huge
packet loss, presumably due to the speed mismatch. How do you get the
cards to go at 100Mb?
