after having neverending troubles with LNE100TX leaving it to
autodetect media (NWAY) I decided to try it in 10Mbps half duplex mode.
however I am not clear which options to use, there is one option for
media (specified using option=n where n is media number, see below) and
another one called full_duplex (1 or 0 for full duplex and half duplex
respectively?).
Q: which options and full_duplex values should I use to make card work
in 10Mbps half duplex?
it looks like the media determines whether it's full duplex or not,
why is there separate full_duplex parameter?
media values are:
0 Auto-select (default to the 10baseT link)
1 10base2
2 AUI
3 100baseTx
4 10baseT-FD
5 100baseTx-FD
6 100baseT4
7 100baseFx
8 100baseFx-FD
9 MII 10baseT
10 MII 10baseT-FD
11 MII (autoselect)
12 Serial 10baseT (no autoselect)
13 MII 100baseTx
14 MII 100baseTx-FD
15 MII 100baseT4
16 MII 100baseFx-HDX (half duplex)
17 MII 100baseFx-FDX (full duplex)
18 MII Home-PNA 1Mbps
0x200 Added to other values to set full duplex
