Getting GB speed out of Intel Pro/1000 on SCO Openserver 5.0.6?

Asked by tcicatelli in SCO Unix, Unix Networking, Network Cards & Adapters

Hi

I have a Dell box with an Intel Pro/1000 MT card installed and I'm running SCO Openserver 5.0.6.  It wasn't until I tried to do backups to an external NFS drive that I realized the card is set for 100mb.  Is there a way to get this card to 1000mb speeds?  Is there a different PCI card I can use?  I'm not going to change the OS anytime soon.  

My preference would be to find a driver that can handle the current card as the software vendor tied the licensing to the MAC address and will hit me with some hefty fees to relicense a new NIC card.

Thanks.
