Yes, there are still a number if ethernet devices out there that don't play well togeather. I had 2 D(on't)Link DSL routers that wouldn't link up to 2 PC's. I think all the lights looked good .. Checked out cables, etc. I ended up putting a 10mb hub in the middle and they workd ... For about 30 minutes after I found the problem. I pulled them out (one was a replacment for the other), and replaced with a Linksys. I couldn't afford one of the Soekris boxes for home at the time. I brought both of the D-links to the office environment to test, and one displayed the same problem there. Seems like the problem occurs when everybody plays auto-sync, but the devices just don't really sync up. Making one of the devices 'fixed', often helps. OT: I've been playing with getting a m0n0wall Soekris image mounted, or it's file structure on a machine, so I could attempt to tweak such settings as well. Power setting for wireless cards is another thing I'd like to have access to. I haven't tried runing scripts or command line options yet, but that might be all that's necessary. I belive I read on this list or new features that there was, or pending, an option to run scripts at boot-up if in a given directory. That process should accommodate some of these extra mods pretty easily without mess'n with Miguel's code ..

Even with present auto-negotiation, forcing speed and duplex is preferred by many, including myself. I think the ifconfig mediaopts should be included in interface configuration page somewhere. -Chris On Mon, 06 Sep 2004 22:23:48 -0700, Joshua Bardt <josh at ethr dot net> wrote: > > *Old man voice* > > Back when I was less old - 100TX had a heck of a lot of problems with > auto-negotiation. > > I thought that was a thing of the distant past - but maybe this is > just that. > > I would say you should try putting a switch/hub in between the WAN > port and your apt. > > If that works great..
