Any ideas on why I am unable to set a gige network interface 100 Full Auto off in a CentOS 5,4 client under Windows 7 host?
I have the following line in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
But the options are being ignored and the virtual interface is still coming up gige auto on. I need it set to 100 full auto off to support some legacy servers that do not have gige interfaces that are on the same switch.
I'm running VBox version 3.2.10 on a Windows 7 64Bit host. I've also tried to switch the interface card being emulated from a
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop to a PCnet-FAST which only supports 10/100 but CentOS doesn't appear to load a driver for it.
