Very Computer

Hi,

I know, this problem is not new, but I would like to ask for some experience
with it, so I maybe don't have to install a new kernel on a Software
bootable RAID1......

I got a 3COM 3C905B-TX network adapter.  It works only at 10M. Now this is
known to be a driver problem, but (stupid as I am) when I built my RAID
kernel I compiled the driver into the Kernel instead of having it as a
module.  Now, to my knowledge, setting any options in modules.conf doesn't
help (options 3C59x options=12).

The correct solution (I think) would be to compile a new kernel. But I am a
little reluctant to do this as long as I am not sure whether this will help.
So please, encourage me... Would it help to test the option line by typing
this line at the boot prompt?

I am using SuSE 6.0/Kernel 2.0.36.

Thanks for help

Cheers,
Till

Check for solution in comp.os.linux.networking if interested...
