Re: how to set the configuration EEPROM back to the default setting

 
 


Hello  ,

i have COMBO 3COM900B Networkkarte  .  

I had tried a simple cross-linking under Linux SuSe7.2 

(Kernel 2.4.4.4-GB )  to finish , i use Coaxia cable like 

a Media type however it did not work, with twisted  cable it works very well.

Then I have with the 3Com Tool floppy under DOS the following 

conversion made:like a media type I select Coaxi cable

and it have functioned however with the  twisted cable do not go.

my quations are : 

  1)how can i please Set the configuration EEPROM 
back 

to the default setting, using themodule options from    
http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.htmlwhat are those stage to follow?

i know There is no way to reliably detect a connected 10base2 network 
cable, 

2)but how can i to explicitly set the media 

3)how to change the EEPROM to switch?

thanks 

nadia,houziri

yours sincerly

By using the DOS-based tool that you used to set it to coaxial :-)

2)but how can i to explicitly set the media 

The Scyld page that you mentioned exoplains this. IN /etc/modules.conf, 
you need something like:

options 3c59x 3

to select BNC.

3)how to change the EEPROM to switch?

If you mean by this to just change the EEPROM every time you boot to 
switch to a different media type, then you shouldn't do it !
The EEPROM has a limited amount of writes and at some point you will not 
be able to write to it anymore.
