8139too giving only 10Mbps

[Marc Lijour]

Hi
still fighting with my small network...

I have a line which does not configure properly.
The 2 machines are linked directly by a cross-over cable. See below for the 
stats:

----------------------
| Machine 1        |
----------------------
Here I have a RealTek based card (8139too) visibly able to do 100Mbps:
# ethtool eth2
Settings for eth2:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 10Mb/s
        Duplex: Half
        Port: MII
        PHYAD: 32
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: d
        Wake-on: d
        Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
        Link detected: yes

----------------------
| Machine 2        |
----------------------
Here I have the on-board eth card, the mobo is the K7S5A.
The board doc says it is a SiS735 chip which runs the lan 
( http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7s5a_v3.html ).
However my Mandrake detects a sis900 10/100 capable.
But my ethtool does not give any info.
But the logs shows that the card picks up 100Mbps anyway.


The connection is limited at 10Mbps by machine 1 without machine 2 knowing?
Any help appreciated.
