Hi,
my Dell Latitude E4300 runs Linux 2.6.37 and whenever its onboard Intel
82567LM Gigabit controller is connected to a [1]Netgear GS108, it falls
back to 100Mb/s after (what seems to be) negotiating for quite a while.
I managed to build and run the most recent e1000e kernel module (and
experimented with its module options) but it didn't make any difference.
Also, forcing 1000Mb/s through tools like ethtool always left the laptop
without any link at all.
Has anyone any idea what I could try next? I never tried to connect
this laptop to another GigE switch so I can't say if this is limited to
the Netgear GS108 or if it also affects other devices.
Thanks,
Petar Bogdanovic
