[ale] NIC full-duplex settings

[Robert Heaven]

Is it a Cisco switch? At the office we have Cisco switches that, if you set your equipment to "auto-negotiate" it will back you down 10M so, we have to set things to a fixed 100M-Full.

Just noticed a number of these in my system log:

eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.

eth0 plugs into a 10/100 switch....I'm not sure how this auto-negotiation
works, but I'd sure prefer to be running full duplex (which the card does
support).

Anyone know why the card is being set this way, and what I can do to
override?

Thanks for the help!

John
