Hi to all,

This might sound strange but, working with my Lubuntu 10.04 i've experienced troubles when connecting to my eth0 newtwork. After some googling, i've found out that by writting in the CLI the following command:

mii-tool eth0 -F 10baseT-FD

and activating the eth0 in the toolbar (by clicking "activate eth0") everything works just fine.

Well, up to now, i did not have any problem, because every time i turned on the computer i had to do this, but it was very little effort.But now, i would like to use the machine as a file server, accesing it by ssh, without monitor or keyboard. So, i won't be able to make this actions, and can't do this at startup because mii-tool needs root permissions. So, the question is:

Do you know what does that command do, and how can id make that change permanent? Or do you know any other solution for my problem?

I hope i was clear! If not, tell me and i'll try to be as clearer as possible.

Thanks in advance!
