My Samsung seems happy negotiating a 10Mbps half duplex on a Kingston KNE111TX nic ;

eth1: 10 Mbit, half duplex, link ok
product info: vendor 00:00:00, model 0 rev 0
basic mode: 10 Mbit, half duplex
basic status: link ok
capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
advertising: 100baseT4 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
I have tried to force 100/fd using mii-tool with no luck. It also seems to take ages to negotiate, so much so that my Smoothwall gives up, and I have to wait until the nic lights come on and then refresh my red nic interface to get an IP.

Same card used to negotiate 10/hd immediately with the Pace DiTV 1000.

Any ideas ?
