Why whould you want to use that kernel option? I don't see that it is a requirement on the blade how-to. My guess is you haven't specifically set the interface to a media speed and duplex as the option indicates to me that the driver would not attempt auto negotiation. If the option is not required - lose it - otherwise try adding a media option to your ifconfig. -Jon Jeremy C.
