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...

Hi, I went to a computer store and the salesman sold me a SATA cable and told me that all SATA cables are the same. Another salesman at a different store told me a cable rated for SATA 2, which I bought, MIGHT work as well as one rate for SATA 3 but it is not guaranteed. I decided to run a...

Determine the ethernet (NIC) card speed.

Hi, Does anyone know how can I determine the maximum capable speed on a network interface card for different OS like HP, Sun, AIX and Linux. I am aware of the tool "ethtool" which can be used for Linux. Are there any handly commands or /proc files where I can get this info depending on the OS....

setether

SETETHER(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       SETETHER(8)

NAME

       setether - Set the ethernet address for use with DECnet

SYNOPSIS

       setether <if> [<if>...]|all [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Set ethernet MAC address on ethernet adaptors

       This  script should be run at system startup. It will change the ethernet hardware (MAC) address of any or all ethernet interfaces to match
       the DECnet node address. DECnet requires that the MAC address of all ethernet adaptors running the protocol be set approriately.  If you do
       not run setether then you must change the ethernet address in some other way for DECnet to work.
       By  default no ethernet interfaces will have their MAC addresses changed by setether, if you specify all then all interfaces name eth* will
       be changed, otherwise a list of interface names can be specified.  setether will enable (UP) all interfaces it changes  the  MAC  addresses
       of.
       (2.4  only) The first interface specified on the command-line will also be made the default interface for DECnet operations (ie attempts to
       contact nodes not in the neighbour table will be done over this interface).
       This script must be run with the interface inactive, it is normally run from /etc/init.d/decnet before TCP/IP starts up.

EXAMPLES

       set the MAC address of eth0.

	   # /sbin/setether eth0

       set the MAC address of all ethernet interfaces

	   # /sbin/setether all

HELPFUL HINTS

       If you have multiple ethernet cards on your system and they are connected to the the same network you should specify which one you want	to
       use  for DECnet communication on the setether command line, otherwise they will both be given the same MAC address and this is probably not
       what you want.
       Running DECnet on multiple ethernet interfaces only works under Linux 2.4. If you are running Linux 2.2 then  the  interface  name  on  the
       setether command line must match the one in /etc/decnet.conf(5).
