Forcing Full-duplex on D-Link 530TX (via-rhine driver)
I observe lots of collisions on my NIC. The nic is a D-Link DFE-530TX,
and is talking to a Realtek8139 card on the other end. The Realtek
card is configured in full-duplex 100baseTX mode.
I looked thru the driver source (via-rhine.c), and there's no mention
of what kind of media and mediaopt params it groks.
Is there any way to force it into full-duplex?
