Setting interface speed by hand

DarKRR
Hi everyone,

I have an ASL5 with 3 epic100 cards and configured /etc/modules.conf as following to set all interfaces manually to 100baseTx-FD:
   alias eth0 epic100
   alias eth1 epic100
   alias eth2 epic100
   post-install epic100 /sbin/fullduplex
The fullduplex-script invokes the appropriate mii-tool commands. When booting all NICs are switched to full-duplex but later on initnics resets the cards. Is there any workaround to make theses settings permanent and - hopefully - immune to updates?

Yours
  marc e.

    Try to use the tool "mii-diag" or "mii-tool" to set the link level.
    In order to set the level on every boot you have to add the command on the bottom of /etc/init.d/boot.

    Anyway, I do not recommend to make such changes, because it will void your support contract (if you have one). Also I don't known if the change will work smoothly.

    What chance is there to avoid loosing my support? Hello Astaro, can you fix this issue for the next update?

    Anyway, /etc/init.d/boot seems not to be the last script that runs. Any process resets the cards afterwards.
