settings of a nic card

[womp]

I am running redhat 9.0
Everytime I reboot the server the nic card
defaults back to autoneg and 10HD
Where do I make the settings I want stay even after a reboot?

Where do you set them in the first place?

When the system first came up I got ethtool and use that for my settings

I'm on fedora, not RH, but in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts file there are a couple of lines that look like this:

/sbin/ethtool -s ${REALDEVICE} $ETHTOOL_OPTS

If you put the command parameters to set card the way you like it in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever your interface name is after the "ifcfg-"), it may set them.

If that works, then you probably want to examine the options available in redhat-network-config-gui and see if there's some way to set them there, because that tool writes the ifcfg files.

Or, you may just want to look at the gui first.
