my company has a production server with 3 broadcom 5701 cards in it, but
only two are being used. for some reason, the two cards don't default to
full duplex mode, so in /etc/modules.conf, i force them into full duplex
mode (yes, the card does support full duplex and it is a recognized module
parameter):
alias eth0 bcm5700
alias eth1 bcm5700
alias eth2 bcm5700
options bcm5700 full_duplex=1
after a quick reboot (yes, i know i can do this without rebooting but i'm
in new mexico and the box is in philly), eth2 is now in full duplex mode,
but eth1 is still half duplex (from /var/log/messages):
Aug 9 02:38:42 wsedb01 kernel: bcm5700: eth1 NIC Link is UP, 100 Mbps
half duplex
Aug 9 02:38:42 wsedb01 kernel: bcm5700: eth2 NIC Link is UP, 100 Mbps
full duplex
so is this something that is negotiated by the hub/router it's attached to
or am i missing something in my attempt to force two nic's into full
duplex mode? thanks
