Probelms changing the duplex setting on my 3C980B NIC 1

[622302]

I'm running SCO 5.0.4.0, have a 3COM 3C980B card installed.
It's currently running at 100 half-duplex. ndstat -l gives me the 100 and the network guys give me the half-duplex,
ndstat -l dosen't give me the mode i.e half/full duplex.

I want to force the card to 100 full-duplex.
I checked FAQ58-1390 - followed instructions but the change is not picked up.

This is what I did:
(1) CD'd to /etc/conf/pack.d/e3M.
(2) vi'd space.c.
(3) noticed that short e3M_Media_Override[4] was set to
MEDIA_OVERRIDE_DEFAULT
(4) Altered the four lines to MEDIA_OVERRIDE_10_HALF -
this is to make sure that I can test the change i.e
ndstat, without hassling the network guys.
(5) relinked the kernel and rebooted the machine.
(6) ndstat -l still gives me 100 and the network guys
reckon it's half-duplex.

Noticed that the directory /etc/conf/pack.d/e3M has
space.c, space.h and Driver.o. After relinking, Driver.o has not been updated - I'm wondering whether this is the issue i.e something needs recompiling. I even deleted the /dev/net0 file, relinked etc but it made no difference.

Not really sure how to proceed with this, I have little experiance with SCO I mainly know AIX and Solaris. Any advice would be most welcome.

Have you tried

 netconfig

?
Highlight your 3Comm and then Hardware->Modify.

Hope This Help

Thanks PHV
Netconfig dosn't seem to give me any options
for changing the mode and speed of the card.
