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...
That would be a great first check - eliminate everything you can.

Are you using a cable with all 4 pairs correctly wired {for 1Gb}, whereas only two pair {for 100Mb} ?

Are you using a switch ? If not the crossover has to crossover 4-pairs correctly !

Is it a reasonable distance ? proper cat 6 cable ?
