Unless you have a managed switch, don't force negotiation, as it'll just cause the switch to run in 10base/half-duplex (lowest common denominator) when there is no negotiation advertised. It's sitting in 100/full already, which is what you want. If you do ifconfig eth0, do you see any errors?

Like I said, I've seen auto-negotiation sometimes go wonky, even in the cases where ethtool reports correctly. If everything in your network is okay except this device, hard code it to 100/full through the web UI. I would say its your switch, but you tried different ports. How about the cable? Swa
