Well I’m no guy but;

su -c “ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full”

or

su -
ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full

it didnt wrk :o
any other soln

Well it should work - ethtool is the tool to change the speed, the syntax might have changed a bit over the years.

Use man ethtool

Report any error messages.

Hi
Unplug the cable and then run the ethtool command;


ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full

or

ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full autoneg off

(Note you could also try with autoneg on as well)

then check with;


ethtool eth0

It should be at 10Mb/s? Then plug your cable back in, is it still set
at 10Mb/s, is the link detected (last line in output)?

If ok, then restart the network;


rcnetwork restart

and check

ethtool eth0

If not I think you may have other issues not related to the speed.

Now you could also install the mii-tool from
Get Software from the openSUSE
Build Service

Just search on mii-tool.
