I upgraded my network last weekend to support 100Mbit. I had 2
different servers running DE-500-BA cards selected at 10 Mbs. As part
of the upgrade, I set them to 100Mbit with half duplex. From what I
could find on the OSF list, that took 2 steps:
1 - at the console, set the ew* mode to fast
2 - add speed=100 to the ifconfig definition in /etc/rc.config
I did both and seem to be running all right. However, both servers have
logged the following in the messages file:

What is this really telling me? Is it just informational or do I have a
problem?
TIA
