I just installed 2.4.23-bk9 on a system with a ethernet card that lscpi reports as DC21142 which is a quad port card. When the machine came up it auto negotiated half duplex instead of full. On 2.4.21-ac4 it negotiated Full. I searched around the bugzilla and couldn't find anything relevant but it could just be my searching sucks. Any ideas? I don't believe that passing an append parameter would be good as it would have to be done to about 50 servers.
