My problem seems to be related to yours. I use a 3Com Ethernet card (3c59x module) connected to a 100Mbit switch. Unfortunately the connection is established by default with 10MBit. To connect with 100MBit I have to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/options:
options 3c59x "options=0x008" I don't know why the connection is not established with 100MBit by default. I had the same problem with (another) 3c59x-compatible 3Com card 9 or 10 years ago (completely different hardware and setup)!!!! Why is this bug not fixed already?! -- 3c59x - 10/100 NIC fails to link to gigabit switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94186 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
