Hi there,

Yesterday I reseated the network cable between my server cupboard and my
desk, and it now lights up on the switch by my desk as gigabit. But a
file-transfer today is slower than I might have hoped.

I'm not ruling out the cable, because it's pretty beat up (but the
switch *is* lighting up as 1000), but how do I determine, please, that
the Linux server at the other end is recognising the NIC and negotiating
as gigabit speeds?

Doing a

  dmesg | grep "Link is up"

should show something like:

  eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex, flow control rx
