Date: 21 Nov 1996 13:31:30 -0700 Organization: ABWAM, Inc., full service ISP, voice: 1+ 303 730-6050 Lines: 14 Message-ID: <572e72$dvc@stout.entertain.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: stout.entertain.com Hi! I've got BSDI 2.0 w/ pathces, and I am using a 3COM 3C509 ISA Combo ethernet card. Right now, it is using the AUI port (which seems to be the default), so I've got a transceiver on it to convert to 10baseT. I'd like to chuck the transceiver and use the native 10baseT port. Do I need to make any kernel changes? If so, what would I have to change? Does the card autosense where the net traffic is? Any pointers as to the process of switching to TP appreciated!
