Can anyone reccomend a way to check the duplex mode on my rt8129 based
100Bt card. Or a way to force it into half duplex(linux 2.2.6).  I get
massive amounts of collisions copying from my linux server to my windows
box(using samba 2.0.3) but much MUCH less colisions copying from windows
to the samba box.  i forced the windows machine into 100Half duplex and i
set both card's ROM to half duplex. 

maybe there is another reason for this problem i'm not sure.  In a 5 day
period i came close to exceeding 500,000 collisions.

any help is appreciated.
