Control: retitle -1 RealTek RTL-8169 driver incapable of changing advertised speed without including duplex setting Control: forcemerge 776000 768121 762791
So let's re-cap every thing.
776000 was created for the very same driver and is assigned to the
kernel. The other 2 bugs are still with l-m-t.
In 768121, Matthew has mentioned the same error, that ethtool is
incapable to changing to the advertised speed. He also mentioned that
using the combination of speed/duplex together, does work.
But on my tests, they do not. It is just that the command now does not
report any error string, but the settings do not come into effect.

Matthew and Stefano,
Will it be possible for you to test/verify the same with an active link ?
I just don't have an ethernet cable any more.
Just run the above mentioned ethtool command and see if it applies the
requested speed.

Turns out the driver is not playing well with ethtool.
The deivce reports that is has that capability, but is not acting
accordingly.
rrs@chutzpah:~$ sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000
Cannot advertise speed 1000

rrs@chutzpah:~$ sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 100
Cannot advertise speed 100
22:07 ♒♒♒ ☺
And every time we try to set the speed, the driver spits the following
through the kernel.

Thanks for the log. It did help.
