Some additional info. I experience the same behavior on:
- my 5 year old Dell Dimension 8300, which has a 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller - my brand new Dell Vostro 420, which has a RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller. When I connect the network cable to my Dell Precision M2300 laptop, which has a NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express card, it *does* connect at 1Gb/s. When I compare the ethtool output from the two, I see that: - my laptop supports and advertises link mode 1000baseT/Half whereas the Dimension and Vostro don't. - my laptop has PHYAD 1 whereas the Dimension and Vostro have PHYAD 0. -Bart -- Intel Gibabit Ethernet NIC (82541PI) operating at 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps after upgrading to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
