[K12OSN] configure and optimize network cards in K12LTSP?

[Jim Kathan]

My school uses HP Procurve switches that give all sorts of CRC alignment
errors if they are not set to automatic uplink/downlink connection speed
(10/100, etc.), and if flow control is set to anything other than
off/disabled. Interestingly enough, these picky switches also want
whatever's connected on the other end (NIC card, jet-direct printer, etc.)
to be set the exact same way, or you also get errors.

I noticed one of my MS-Windows server's nic card was set to 10/100 (not
automatic link) and flow control was not turned off. So it gave me tons of
errors with the switch.

 

Getting to the point; I was wondering if there are any
configurations/customizations/tweaks that I can do for my NIC cards within
K12/Fedora? I am wondering how they are set be default, and what I can
change. I looked around but didn't see much of anything. I know K12 is
designed for most situations to work "out of the box", but my situation
warrants further optimizing for the NIC, if it's possible.

 

Thank you for reading this and any help given.

I love this email list!
