Managers,
I am running into a strange problem changing between FastFD and
auto-negotiate for ewa0_mode on an AlphaServer DS10. The NIC is reported as
follows while booting.
vmunix: tu1: DECchip 21143: Revision: 4.1
vmunix: tu1: auto negotiation capable device
vmunix: tu1 at pci0 slot 11
vmunix: tu1: DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet Interface, hardware address:
It is connected to a Cisco Catalyst 2900. When I set it to FastFD, the
network comes to a halt. When I set it to auto-negotiate it operates
flawlessly at 100BaseT: full duplex.
Other than the obvious, what is the difference in these two settings?
Thanks,
Allen Belk
