I may have stumbled onto a fix. Download e1000 driver version 8.0.9 from intel.com. sudo make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=1 install sudo rmmod e1000 sudo modprobe e1000 AutoNeg=0x28
It was the slave=1 part which finally made the difference. This setting "forces it to master mode". I don't know enough about it to understand what this means - I was just flipping all switches until things started to work. -- 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
