I'm actually running vms on this system, but we found out from dec
the next day you can do this at the >>> prompt:
>>> set ewa0_mode fast
(it was set to twisted_pair ... change ewa0 as needed to match your
system.)
or on vms:
$ mc lancp
lancp> show dev ewa0/param
Device Parameters EWA0:
Value Parameter
----- ---------
Normal Controller mode
External Internal loopback mode
08-00-2B-E7-B6-32 Hardware LAN address
CSMA/CD Communication medium
32 Minimum receive buffers
32 Maximum receive buffers
No Full duplex enable
No Full duplex operational
AUI Line media
10 Line speed (megabits/second)
lancp> set device ewa0/speed=100
as soon as we did this command we heard a click and the green light
was off and the amber was on... (amber =100mb)...
if you don't do it at the >>> you have to do it each reboot
and must make sure some startup file has it in there.
but for the unix people out there:
