No, you're correct. There's no standard way to achieve this, and no documentation seems to be available on the various ways that the cards might do it. > Are there any pcmcia 10/100 cards supported by PAO that use a driver > you can force if the negotiation doesn't work properly ? Nope. Then again, I've _never_ been in a situation where I'd have needed to force the settings on the Netgear card I'm using, and I move it between a large number of hubs/switches. > Anyone I can talk to about getting the ed driver to support the things > several of us seem to want ?
