Driver options for e100, e100compaq module (Intel Pro/100 Cards)

Some switches require setting the link speed of a network adapter manually, whitout autonegotiation.

 

This is possible via "Config" > "Box" > "Network" > "Inerfaces" > "Physical Interfaces" or directly in the interface setting via  "Config" > "Box" > "Network" > "Inerfaces" > "Network Interface Cards" as a driver module option.

The following options are available for Intel Pro/100 Cards (e100, e100compaq module):

Driver Options:

e100_speed_duplex=0 (auto detection for both speed and duplex mode / default)
e100_speed_duplex=1 (10 MBit Half Duplex)
e100_speed_duplex=2 (10 MBit Full Duplex)
e100_speed_duplex=3 (100 MBit Half Duplex)
e100_speed_duplex=4 (100 MBit Full Duplex)

Examples:

To set the link speed of an interface to 100 MBit Full Duplex, supply the following driver parameter:

e100_speed_duplex=4

To set the link speed of one interface to 100 MBit Half Duplex and a second interface to 10 MBit Full Duplex supply the following driver parameters:

e100_speed_duplex=3,2
