Re: cannot change eth media type

The switch I'm using is a little broken, so I need my ethernet cards to use
10baseT rather than 100base T. when I try to switch them using ifconfig, this
is what I get:

# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 media 10baseT
port: SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported

Does linux not support switching or is it the drivers that need to support
it? I've tried this with 3 different cards and it worked for none of them
(tulip-based, 3com 9xx, and a tulip-base PC card).

The modules might have options.
modinfo -p <module name>
