$ cat /etc/hostname.xl0
inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

But your x305 story justs starts here...

We got the first shipment in holland about a year ago,
2x 1gb 's intergraded and a monitorconsole, right ?
Trust me on this one, upgrade the firmware and do
it pronto. in 1 week they released 4 NIC firmware
updatess. it spooked me out enough kick em out.
(That was a year ago though)

And finaly
Stop using autoselect on servers

It was the firmware indeed. IBM released a new firmware (2.25) which
seems to solve the problem. It will be part of the next UpdateXpress.

Thanks, Helmut
