Greetings,

I recently installed CentOS 5 on Dell PE 1750 server. I have noticed that
the speed and duplex settings are 100 Half Duplex. I tried to change the
duplex settings to full, but no success. I got the error message "Cannot get
current device settings: Operation not supported". Does anyone else
experience this issue?. Below is the error message and some more details
about my box. Any help will be highly appreciated.

[root at xentwo ~]# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on
Cannot get current device settings: Operation not supported
  not setting speed
  not setting duplex
  not setting autoneg

[root at xentwo ~]# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
Cannot get current device settings: Operation not supported
  not setting speed
  not setting duplex
  not setting autoneg

[root at xentwo ~]# mii-tool eth0
