Would like to know if its possible to expect "100/full duplex" performance from a DE500 on a AS2100 5/300 under tru64 4.0F PK7? I have the card curenntly installed, running and set to "FastFD" but performance is very poor. When the system boots I get the following message in /var/adm/messages:

Nov 13 08:52:43 ted vmunix: tu1: DECchip 21140: Revision: 2.0
Nov 13 08:52:43 ted vmunix: tu1: auto negotiation capable device
Nov 13 08:52:43 ted vmunix: tu1 at pci0 slot 8
Nov 13 08:52:43 ted vmunix: tu1: DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet Interface, hardware address: 00-00-F8-03-77-E5
Nov 13 08:52:43 ted vmunix: tu1: auto negotiation off: selecting 100BaseTX (UTP) port: full duplex

How do i ensure the right driver is being selected for this device when the system boots?
