Hello there,

Sorry for NOT posting this elsewhere, I have not found any 8029 related 
lists.

How can I set rtl8029 to a full-duplex? I run ne2k-pci.o driver it works 
just about fine. I put the following into /etc/modules.conf in a good 
faith I may get on full-duplex. I have got three PCI slots.

alias eth0 ne2k-pci
options eth0 full_duplex=1,1,1
