Hi, First of all thanks to Doug White for committing SerDes support for bce. I have a question for someone familiar with this driver. I must enforce Gb/Full-duplex before the end of boot. I have IBM BladeCenter chassis which internally uses Nortel 2-3 switches which in turn do not allow for autonegotiation of internal interfaces. I want to run a diskless configuration so changing the bits with ifconfig is not an option. Tweaking settings in PXE boot agent doesn't help - the link preference is not preserved after kernel starts booting. Thus the last resort remains I guess - fiddling with the source. Help anyone TIA, /S
