alexmc 0 Posted August 24, 2005 I have a new Foxconn 755A01-6EKRS motherboard which claims to have a 10/100/1000 Fast Gigabit Ethernet port from Realtek in it. However Linux (Fedora Core 4 and Gentoo Live CD 2004.3) only sees it as a 10/100. The chipset is RTL8100B/8139D and the driver module I am using under FedoraCore4 is 8139too version 0.9.27 [root@stross ~]# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 32 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) Link detected: yes (I am plugging it in to an ethernet switch which is correctly identifying a different machine as having Gigabit NIC ) Is there any way I can identify whether the NIC itself *can* do Gigabit and determine that it is a driver problem, or negotiating problem, or alternatively is the marketing info wrong and this wont do Gigabit.
