Folks,
I recently replaced a FE 3Com card in my Linux server (hostname is
imladris) with a Netgear GigE card. I am unable to set it to 1000FD, no
matter what I do. I tried forcing it using 'ethtool -s', and setting
autoneg off and on. Rebooting didn't help. Using a different port on
my GigE switch/hub didn't help.
BTW - I also put a duplicate Netgear GigE card into another Linux server
(hostname is numenor; additional NIC, not a replacement -- if it
matters). On numenor, that NIC is at 1000FD.
I have not yet tried swapping the port and ethernet cable between
imladris and numenor...
Any other suggestions? I included some system information below.
TIA,
Steve
