Subject: Disabling auto-negotiation
I sent the following to the eepro mailing list and have had no response, I
thought I'd give the good ol' plug a try. If anyone knows a better way to
force speed and duplex negotiation, please let me know!

---> snip

For some reason, when we use the mii-diag utility to force 100mbs - Full
Duplex we get a ton of Alignment errors on our catalyst. Anyone have any
ideas?

1. The cards are eepro100's with 100mbs link-lights on.
2. The ports on the switch are set to 100-FD
3. When changing the ports on the switch to 10-FD 99% of the errors go away,
but speed is reduced dramatically. (imagine that.)
4. I've downloaded the SRPMS for redhat and recompiled the drivers,
mii-diag, and eepro100-diag, all goes well. Still seems to be the same
situation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: screen blank.
Message-ID: <>

Hey PLUG.
    I want to stop my screen from blanking.  First of all I'm not even
in Xwindows so it's got nothing to do with it's screen saver
functions.  I've already tried the utility setterm and set the blank to 0
and the powersave to off.  Is there something else I'm missing?  I think
it's tied to the root account.  Seems to me that when logged in as a
normal user it never blanks.  Is this supposed to be a security feature
for the root account?  The timeout is about 5 minutes...
