1.      Q. Ifconfig reports "10Mbs Ethernet" for my 10/100Mbs card.  How do

           I get my card to run in 100Mbs mode?

        A. The "10Mbs Ethernet" is poorly named.  What this is really saying

           is that this device is some kind of Ethernet device (ie, uses

           ethernet style frames at the link layer).  Recent versions of

           ifconfig report this as simply "Ethernet".

           The TLAN driver is designed to autodetect 10Mbs vs. 100Mbs

           connections, and choose the higher speed.  The most sure way

           to determine what speed you are running at is to look at the

           100Mbs LED on the card, if your device has one.

2.      Q. My network card is using the same interrupt as my SCSI card.

        A. Some Compaqs set all PCI devices to the same interrupt by default.

           You can either change the interrupt used by one of the device

           with your Compaq configuration utility, or you can have the TLAN

           driver use the same type of interrupt handler:

           a. For module based use, add 'sa_int=1' to the command line, eg.:

                insmod tlan.o sa_int=1

           b. For compiled in kernel, set the 0x2 bit in the third part

              for the boot parameter for that device, eg.:

                ether=0,0,0x2,0,eth0
