Hi

I would like to set easily network card configuration: speed (10/100), half/full duplex etc. and not only dhcp or static ip
In windows it is very easy but i can't find a gui to make the same with knoppix.
Is there some tools? if not, how can I modity this settings throught command line?

Thanks :?

it`s quiet easy.... just press the k-menu button ->Knoppix->Network&internet->Configure Networkcard

for commandline just run

/usr/sbin/netcardconfig

or run from console: ifconfig --help (i think this is what you want)

Hi ssc,

thank for your reply.
I didn't know /usr/sbin/netcardconfig command, I will try it although I think is not possibile to configure all network card settings through k-menu button.

Thanks

you can change this with this command :

mii-tool -F option eth0

possibles options are : 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, or 10baseT-HD

netcardconfig or ifconfig are for setting the ip and such, not for the speed

Hi farvardin,


thanks for your reply. I looked at goole for mii-tools and I saw it is what I need.

Thanks
