We are bringing our six older Alphas up to 100/200 NICs and have acquired
a sample DE500-AA card. The archives of the list were very useful as
there has been a good deal of anguish when people have upgraded in the
past.
We dutifully set the interface to fastfd in the SRM and added speed 200 to
the ifconfig but can only get simplex operation. No problem with these
settings either at boot or apparently during running but we know it is not
full duplex because there is a led on the switch not lit and an ifconfig
shows simplex.
Does the AA version only handle 100 simplex? If so which suffixes of card
handle duplex? If not then is there anything else w can test or do to get
FD please?
