I have a home network with 2 computers on a linksys router with linksys NICs. Under windows 98 I had to manually configure it to use 100mbps since it defaukted to 10. The router's LED to my computer is yellow, which means it's at 10mbps right now. How do I configure Fedora to use 100mbps also?

Andrew,
mii-tool eth0 should tell you what the cards defaulted to. mii-tool can also change the current states for speed and duplex. See the man page.
You did not say what chipset was on the linksys card, but module parameters probably exist that can be added as options to modules.conf (FC1) or modprobe.conf (FC2). Look in /usr/src/linux-kernel-rev/Documentation.
I would have thought that the cards and router would have played together better. During my short stint with Linksys equipment autonegotiation worked pretty well.

Okay, I used mii-tool and it was set to 10mbit full-duplex, and I changed it to 100baseTx-FD and now it's at 100mbit full-duplex.
Thanks!
Try the tool ethtool. A man on these will will show you a lot of options. There is also a tool called mii-tool.
