Dear Mark,

            Unfortunately this is an embedded small form factor machine
which has 2 Realtek's inside which is what I was trying to use. Was hoping
that it works. There are no BIOS settings to set. But quite strange that the
NIC goes into 10mbit/half mode after the m0n0wall software is started, but
in BIOS mode, it is in 100mbit/full mode. 

 

The same machine works fine in 100mbit in Windows.

 

Regards,

Daniel

Quick and easy solution is to not use it and go for something more reliable
like an Intel 10/100 nic :-)

Have heard Realteks can be problematic, although I have used one with m0n0
and it worked ok for me.

Are there any settings for the NIC in the BIOS that you can try modifying?

Hi,
I tried installing m0n0wall on a machine with Realtek embedded NICs.
What happened is that prior to booting, the machine's NIC is connected to
the Switch at 100mbit/full-duplex, but after booting, it becomes
10mbit/half-duplex and cannot communicate with all other machines on the
network. The ping or any other function all fails.
Hope someone might be able to help. Thanks.
 
Regards
