I've upgraded to a Cyclone card, and recently changed the hub to a 10/100
switching version. One thing that I did notice is that the Cyclone card
will not automatically re-negotiate its speed once its dropped into 10base
mode.
Unfortunately, the driver doesn't accept the ifconfig media command
(SIOCSIFMAP, dev->set_config), so if the driver is a module, you need
to remove/reload it. If its in the kernel, you need to reboot the
machine.
It would be nice to be able to configure the media type with ifconfig.
(maybe this is a feature addition in 2.3 that got overlooked by a lot
of the net drivers and no one knows about it?)
