[tulip] Setting tulip card to 100BaseTx

[Chris North]

Hello:

I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this has been asked already. I am
using a Znyx ZX346Q Ethernet card with 2 tulip chips on a Red Hat Linux
7.0 system. I have a configuration that requires that autosense be
turned off and the card be forced to use full-duplex 100BaseTx. I looked
through some of the tulip notes and found the instructions for forcing
the change with LILO. I added this line:

append="ether=0,0,5,eth1 ether=0,0,5,eth2"

to my lilo.conf. I then ran lilo and rebooted. The card still seems to
be autosensing. Here's the output from dmesg:

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in
advance!
