I have a Intel Etherexpress Pro100/B conneted into a 10BT port on a lightly loaded Catlyst 1900 etherswitch. The system is running 2.2-stable (last week), and traffic ranges from about 50 to 150KB/s output (as measured with netstat -I fxp0 -w 1) When I use "link0 link2" to enable full-duplex operation, I start seeing about 1 to 4% packet loss (measured with ping to and from the server). When I disable full-duplex, the packet loss disappears. Is it safe to change the full-duplex vs. half-duplex on-the-fly? Should I power-cycle/reboot between changes? Anyone else running this card in this kind of configuration? Tom
