[eepro100] Forcing 100Mb Full Duplex on (2) Intel OEM i82557/i82558.

[Graham Wooden]

RedHat 6.2 w/ 2.2.16-3 kernel.
Compaq DL380, with onboard Intel 100 and PCI Intel 100.
Onboard = eth0
PCI = eth1
Donald Becker's eepro100 driver, v1.11. Loaded as a module.

Hello all,

I am trying to get both of these cards, forced to full duplex 100 megabit.
When loading as a module, only eth0 is being forced correctly, not eth1.
Why?  I couldn't find anything from the docs/mail list regarding running two
cards this way.

See below from 'dmesg':

Here is what my /etc/conf.modules has:
---[/etc/conf.modules]---
alias eth0 eepro100
options eepro100 debug=3 options=0x30
alias eth1 eepro100
options eepro100 debug=3 options=0x30
alias scsi_hostadapter cpqarray
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
---[end /etc/conf.modules]---

options '0x30' is 100Mb with Full Duplex, right?  
I even tried to pass full_duplex=1 in the same line, no go.

Only eth0 is getting full duplex.
I really need both to full duplex, 100Mb on both cards.

Do I need to compile the driver into the kernel, and not have it be a
module?

Thanks!
