Dear All,

Maybe someone could help me with a stupid network-card problem:

A friend of mine has a Realtek 8139 ATX network card working fine up to now. Recent changes in their LAN now require to set the network card to half-duplex, which unfortunately is not detected automatically by the network card. 

How can I force it to half-duplex under linux? How can I force it to 10Mbit?

I think this should be possible with providing some options with the insmod command while inserting the rtl8139.o into the kernel but I found no description on the possible options apart from the interrupt thing.

Can somebody help me?


Thanks,

  Marc
