 |
|
When i start my Gentoo-system it starts often my network device in 100 MBit mode (and act as an 100MBit device).
If i stop/start the device again it doesn't change anything - but if i restart the whole system it starts in 1Gbit-mode and works fine.
I have observed the following:
- activating WakeOnLan helps but no always (after activating WOL it starts sometimes in 1GBit at first boot)
- restarting the device don't changes anything but restarting the computer works
- plugged in IPhone per USB at boot (only for charging) causes that the system always starts in 100MBit (Maybe its better if i remove other USB-devices, but why?)
- a longer starting period (integrity check of harddisc of about 5 minutes) also ended in 100MBit (after reboot in 1Gbit)
I am using the "sky2" as a built-in driver, and here are some informations about my networkcard (onboard):

And here the output of "ethtool"

To which device is your network device connected?

The Computer is connected to a Netgear GS 605 v2 Switch.
The network is controled from a Linksys WRT320N with an DD-WRT firmware (Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std-usb-ftp)
But other devices connected to this Switch, e.g. QNAP NAS and HP Mini netbook, had never problems with the connectivity-speed.
Today I've done a ethtool eth0 at first boot:

It seems, that there WOL is deactivated, but on next reboot it is activated without changes any settings. |
