Subject: forcing the tg3 into full duplex

Hi,

anybody knows how to do this?

I was hoping to be able to set an option like "full_duplex=1" or
something when loading the module, but this doesn't work. Also doing a
"modinfo tg3" tells me there's only a debug parm (tg3_debug) for the
module.

Machine: Dell PowerEdge 2650
OS/kernel: SuSE 8 with standard kernel (2.4.18-64GB-SMP)

/var/log/messages output:
Aug 8 15:38:08 serv100 kernel: tg3.c:v0.97 (Mar 13, 2002)
Aug 8 15:38:08 serv100 kernel: eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95701A10) rev

Aug 8 15:38:08 serv100 kernel: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off
for RX.

I also tried mii-tool on the interface which reports this:
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported


Please let me know if more info from my part is needed for
troubleshooting. Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Frederik Dannemare

I think tigon3-driver supports ethtool. Try it.

That's right.
