Configuring the Ethernet Interface for Linux Systems

Overview
The AT-2711 series adapters use a Linux inbox driver to operate. A driver
supplied with an operating system is called an inbox driver. Current Linux
systems come with the inbox driver that the AT-2711 series adapters
need.
Since the driver software for the AT-2711 series adapters has already
been in place, you do not need to install it; however, the speed and duplex
mode are not automatically negotiated. You must disable Auto-negotiation
and sets these properties for the AT-2711 adapter interfaces manually. In
addition, you must set the same property values on the port interfaces of
the connected switch.
