--- Begin Message ---Package: base Severity: serious -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Problem Description: A server machine with a Gigabit NIC is directly linked to a router supporting Gigabit connetcions. After a while or after an unexpected power failure on the router(or restart), the Gigabit Connection on Gigabit NIC gets dumbed down to 100 Mb/s mode. -- Workaround: The only working solution discovered, is to retart the server machine(restarting router does not solve the issue). After doing so, the connection gets correctly negotiated to 1000 Mb/s mode. -- Failed attempts: Using "ethtool" and "mii-tool" to request/force renegotiation with varying flags and parameters did not produce any positive effects. Attempting to reset/restart networking results in no effect or "SSH hanging" depending on the method used. -- Technical Information: {([ lshw ])} *-network description: Ethernet interface product: AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 10 serial: 90:2b:34:5e:19:5f size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress msi msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=alx duplex=full firmware=alx ip=192.168.23.44 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=100Mbit/s resources: irq:43 memory:f7c00000-f7c3ffff ioport:e000(size=128) {([ ethtool eth0 ])} Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pg Wake-on: pg Current message level: 0x00000000 (0) Link detected: yes {([ ethtool -i eth0 ])} driver: alx version: firmware-version: alx bus-info: 0000:02:00.0 supports-statistics: no supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no {([ http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN56U/ ])} Product: Dual-Band Wireless-N600 Gigabit Router Firmware version: 3.0.0.4.376.3754
