SUMMARY: How to get DE500 to work at 100mb

The answer is as follows:
Three options:

with the system at the srm console issue:

set ewa0_mode fast

then reboot.

The second option in the /etc/rc.config file add to the ifconfig statement
speed 100
Reboot

The third option is to use the lan_config utility

lan_config -i tu0 -s 100 -x 0



The most straight-forward (and sure) way is to add speed 100 to the
appropriate entry in /etc/rc.config

NUM_NETCONFIG="1"
NETDEV_0="tu0"
IFCONFIG_0="192.168.1.1 netmast 255.255.255.0 speed 100"

will assuming it is tu0 will force the nic to do half-duplex 100.

(you can also set it to do that at the srm console using
>>> set ewa0_mode = fast (I forgot the option ... enter bogus and it
                             will give you the list)
