AIX 4.2 increase ethernet speed
Hello.
I have a server RS/6000 with AIX 4.2. The server have a network card with 10/100mbps speed, but for some reason, the ethernet only runs at 10Mbps, it doesn,t matter if I put the net cable on a 100Mbps switch, it keeps running at 10Mbps speed....
I know how to view/change ethernet speed on AIX 5.2 (with the "media_speed") but on AIX 4.2 what are the command line to increase the ethernet speed from 10Mbps to 100Mbps?. Or under AIX 4.2 there,s some limitation that ethernet only works with 10Mbps speed?.
Thanks in advanced.

tc589_cs
3C589_CS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual 3C589_CS(4)
NAME
3c589_cs - 3Com 3c589 Etherlink III device driver
SYNOPSIS
insmod 3c589_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [if_port=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]
DESCRIPTION
3c589_cs is the low-level Card Services driver for the 3Com 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet adapter and 3Com 3c562/3c563 combo cards. When this
driver is attached to a card, it allocates the next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This device name will be reported in the ker-
nel log file, and passed on to cardmgr(8).
With the default transceiver setting, the driver will attempt to continuously autodetect the transceiver type (10base2 or 10baseT). There
should normally only be a one or two second lag before the correct transceiver is selected. On particularly noisy or busy networks, it is
possible for the detection logic to incorrectly toggle the transceiver type. If this becomes a problem, it may be necessary to explicitly
select the interface type when the module is loaded or with the ifport command.
PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero
value enables debugging.
if_port=n
Selects the transceiver type. 0 is autodetect (10baseT or 10base2), 1 is 10baseT (twisted pair), 2 is 10base2 (BNC, or thin net).
and 3 is AUI (thick ethernet). The default is 0 (autodetect).
irq_list=i,j,...
Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.
DIAGNOSTICS
eth#: interrupt(s) dropped!
Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notification for some reason. The driver will poll the card (with a signifi-
cant performance penalty) if the problem persists. The most likely cause is an interrupt conflict and/or host bridge configuration
problem.
