Things I have tried:
- Replaced with known working cable
- Verified switch working on gigabit with other computers
- Rebooted switch + computer
- ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off followed by ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 gives me Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
It works at 100 duplex with no issues, is it possible that my hardware is damaged that causes this?
A note that I tried this on FreeBSD 7.0 with no luck as well though I just thought it was an error with the bge driver.
Been spending my weekend trying to solve this so really really appreciate any help that can be provided.
