Here is some boilerplate on autoneg which I've been using in other forums for a number of years when questions about autoneg vs hardcoding and duplex-mismatch arise: How 100Base-T Autoneg is supposed to work: When both sides of the link are set to autoneg, they will "negotiate" the duplex set

This is probably not an e1000 problem, but a general Ethernet "feature". If you defeat auto-negotiation to force the data rate, you implicitly defeat duplex negotiation as well. You need to explicitly set the duplex mode. In full duplex mode, send and receive are are fully independent, and pa

Another problem at my own machine. If I force speed to 100Mb on 1GE network, I can reach 95Mbps bidirectional using UDP (0.34% loses) but only 1.2Mbps using TCP. A bug? If I enable autonegotiation and run at 1GE, I can got 95Mb on TCP to the target machine (the target machine has only 100Mb connect
