[NTLUG:Discuss] New findings on cable modem issue

[Jack Snodgrass]

Some kernel modules have a options switch that tells it to do 10Mbps and not
to autosense. Look at the soruce of the modules that your running and see 
what options it supports. 

Some NIC Cards have a DOS Utility that tell them to do 10Mbps and to not
autoswitch. 

You can get a 10/100 switch that will handle the translation of machines
that to 10Mbps with machines that do 100Mbps for under $50. That's the 
route I'd go.

  Ok, back on the cable modem issue :) Still have not resolved the problem, but I found this going through my /var/log/messages file tonight:

  Aug 17 00:44:20 C1652034-d kernel: eth0: MII is missing!
  Aug 17 00:44:20 C1652034-d kernel: eth0: found link beat
  Aug 17 00:44:20 C1652034-d kernel: eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
  Aug 17 00:44:23 C1652034-d xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded

  The card I am using is a 10/100 56K PCMCIA Linksys, but the hub is only a 10 base hub. Does this mean that the card is currently running at 100 base, and could this attribute to the problem of losing the connection I am having? If so, how would I tell it to run at 10 base? Thanks again everyone for the help.
