Hi there -- One possible solution could be to go to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file and add a line similar to the one shown below. ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off" This would hardwire the NIC to 1 GB speed. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jason L Tibbitts III Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2005 1:08 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Enabling flow control on Intel e1000 I have a nice rack of servers to which I've recently added a gigabit switch. Flow control is enabled on the the relevant switch ports. The servers with Tigon (tg3) Ethernet automatically enable flow control, but the servers with Intel e1000 Ethernet don't, and I believe this is causing problems when doing things like UDP NFS service to 100Mbit devices. (Kickstart-over-NFS is terribly slow, for example.) Is there a reason that e1000 doesn't enable flow control when the switch advertises it as the tg3 driver does? Is there any way to force it to negotiate flow control with the switch? - J< -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
