I do. Netgear FS116 Fast Ether switch. This will also help to flesh out what Ed was asking about... While up and working I added the switch in the middle. Worked fine, the connection came right back up once both hosts were plugged in. This also gave me better visibility to the state during boot (the Ed questions). While booting the 10M light was on and this is the light that remained on all the way to the grub menu. I did hold there to make sure it was stable and then set a timer to see how long before the lights go out once I hit <enter> to select the kernel. That was 8 seconds. But then comes the kicker... This time the link came back up (as it used to, working at 100M) and it was working fine by the time Xfce was up I was able to check. So this issue does not seem to effect my setup if passing thru a switch. I did/do still find ethtool to not want to do much: # ethtool --test enp5s0 Cannot test: Operation not supported # ethtool --reset enp5s0 all ETHTOOL_RESET 0xffffffff Cannot issue ETHTOOL_RESET: Operation not supported So the good news is that this presents a fully automated (no pull/push) fix. The bad news is that I would have to live with 24x7 power drain of the switch since I can't tell it to suspend with my host. I will check the power draw with my "KillaWatt". -- Doug Herr fedoraproject....@wombatz.com _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
