Change from Half to Full duplex in Linux

I had to change a network card from Half to Full duplex to test our Internet link.

This is performed with the mii-tool.


# mii-tool --force=100baseTx-HD eth1 (half duplex 100 base T)
# mii-tool --force=100baseTx-FD eth1 (Full duplex 100 base T)
# mii-tool --force=10baseT-FD eth1 (Full duplex 10 base T)
# mii-tool --force=10baseT-HD (Half duplex 10 base T)

I hope it helps :) Please, leave a comment if it was helpfull !!!

this worked amazingly. It changed it immediately, that a file transfer picked up immediately
