The ep driver does not support full duplex operation.
If it did you could set it by running the command.
ifconfig ep1 full-duplex
I'm at a loss as to what is realy happening here though. Maybe there is a
physical problem of some kind? Do you have old data that can be used to
compaire the two speeds? If the cable bridge is in fullduplex and the card
is in half duplex you'll see lots of colisions on the wire. Have you
validated the configuration of the cable bridge?
watch the output of
netstat -I ep1 -i 5
To see if errors are accumulating. Maybe that will give you some ideas to
go on.
Good Luck!
