Network card is rtl-8169 which is gigabit ethernet card, but in this kernel it is impossible use faster speed because line is detected of 10mbps. This might be upstream bug, but I have no contact to kernel developers. Reproducible: Always
Please post some evidence of the error (e.g. kernel logs or whereever you are reading the speed from). Is this reproducible on the latest development kernel, currently 2.6.21-rc1?
Well. I got speed from "switch", since it connects only 10mbps connection on that kernel. It works on .19 so, I switched back to it before this is corrected.
Please reopen when you have tested the latest development kernel, currently 2.6.21-rc2
well. rc2 is too buggy to even compile on my system.
Put this patch on top: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.21-rc2-git4.bz2 If it still doesn't compile, post the compile error and attach your kernel config
tried with git5, but still does not work, so this is bug in vanilla kernel too? Linespeed is detected as 10mbps, not 100 and 1000 at it should. This works on gentoo 2.6.19-r2 and machine is amilo pro v2085 and network card is : 02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) very annoying, since it is almost impossible to use if networks card only works with 10mbps
Created attachment 112395 [details, diff] patch-from-maintainer-to-fix-problem patch from maintainer to fix problem. should be applied to gentoo sources
Thanks for following up :) Will include in next release provided it's heading upstream
Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r2, thanks for supplying the patch
