- 1. Q. Ifconfig reports "10Mbs Ethernet" for my 10/100Mbs card. How do
- I get my card to run in 100Mbs mode?
-
- A. The "10Mbs Ethernet" is poorly named. What this is really saying
- is that this device is some kind of Ethernet device (ie, uses
- ethernet style frames at the link layer). Recent versions of
- ifconfig report this as simply "Ethernet".
-
- The TLAN driver is designed to autodetect 10Mbs vs. 100Mbs
- connections, and choose the higher speed. The most sure way
- to determine what speed you are running at is to look at the
- 100Mbs LED on the card, if your device has one.

- 2. Q. My network card is using the same interrupt as my SCSI card.
-
- A. Some Compaqs set all PCI devices to the same interrupt by default.
- You can either change the interrupt used by one of the device
- with your Compaq configuration utility, or you can have the TLAN
- driver use the same type of interrupt handler:
-
- a. For module based use, add 'sa_int=1' to the command line, eg.:
- insmod tlan.o sa_int=1
-
- b. For compiled in kernel, set the 0x2 bit in the third part
- for the boot parameter for that device, eg.:
- ether=0,0,0x2,0,eth0
