Driver Settings
It is important to configure the AT-2712FX/SC speed and duplex settings.
By default the Linux driver is configured for autonegotiation which is not
supported with an 100 FX operation. Driver settings can be queried and
changed using the ethtool utility. Download the latest ethtool from the
following web site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel
See Table 3 on page 70 for examples that describe how to use the ethtool
utility. In addition, see the ethtool man page for more information about
this utility.
The ethtool settings do not persist across reboot or module reload.
However, you can place the ethtool commands in a startup script such as
/etc/rc.local to preserve the settings across a reboot.
On Red Hat distributions, you can specify “ethtool -s” parameters in the
ifcfg-ethx scripts using the ETHTOOL_OPTS keyword. The specified
ethtool parameters are set up during ifup. For example, go to the following
directory:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
