When I first set up lenny, there were no ethtool settings. Everything was auto, and it negotiated 1000/Full. Now, the following added to /etc/network/interfaces will allow link to be established, at 100/Full without autoneg: pre-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full post-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full Here's the grep of /var/log/dmesg: [ 0.723485] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 0.723503] r8169 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 0.723538] r8169 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 0.723591] r8169 0000:02:00.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X [ 0.724062] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xffffc90001850000, 00:e0:4c:1d:9b:ac, XID 18000000 IRQ 26 [ 0.724106] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 0.724117] r8169 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 0.724144] r8169 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 0.724182] r8169 0000:03:00.0: irq 27 for MSI/MSI-X [ 0.724644] r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: RTL8168d/8111d at 0xffffc90001864000, 00:25:22:24:e8:21, XID 081000c0 IRQ 27 [ 8.488770] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link down [ 8.488776] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link down [ 8.519320] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link up The one with the MAC ending in 9b:ac is the PCI express NIC. The one ending in e8:21 is the onboard NIC. Both exhibit the same behavior. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
