Public bug reported: The onboard Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet controler on an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe works only at 100MB/s.
I am using Ubuntu Hardy with all the updates installed. This is happening with linux-generic package versions 2.6.24-16 to 2.6.24-19. It still happens with linux-backports-modules-hardy installed. The card with the same switch, cabling, lan etc works normally in Gigabit mode, when I am booting on windows. The switch is D-link DGS 1005D. Using ethtool to tune speed has no effect. Disabling auto negotiation cause the card to fail to connect completely $ sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 The lights on the switch show the card as gigabit momentarily and then switch back to the 100MBps indication. The card works at 100MBps $ sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 autoneg off The card fails to negotiate completely. I can see from the switch that it keeps trying to connect at gigabit speed (lights on for a second and off for three four seconds. ** Affects: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gigabit marvell skge speed ** Summary changed: - Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet fails to work as gigabit and workes only in 100MBs + Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet fails to work as gigabit and works only in 100MBs -- Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet fails to work as gigabit and works only in 100MBs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258400 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
