Hmm.. I just remembered about the mii-tool and mii-diag programs. Have you tried using them as well? It works well on my home machine, admittedly running newer hardware and newer OS, Debian 7.
> sudo mii-tool -v eth0: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok product info: vendor 00:07:32, model 17 rev 4 basic mode: autonegotiation enabled basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok capabilities: 1000baseT-HD 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD advertising: 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control link partner: 1000baseT-HD 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control You might be able to do: > sudo mii-tool -v -F 1000baseTx-HD eth0 and get something back that works for you.
