Hi
I’m running Suse 10.2 on my Intel DG950OT motherboard. The network card on this motherboard is Intel 82566DC.
For some reason I can only get 100Mb/s connecting when connecting to 1Gb/s switch, but when connecting straight to another computer I get a 1Gb/s connection. The odd thing is that just some weeks ago I was able to get a 1Gb/s connectiong to this same switch! As far as I know, no settings have been changed on my Suse that might affect this.
I’we tested the switch thorougly and changed the cables, but still I only get 100Mb/s speed.
Anyone know what might be causing this?
Also, if I don’t find a solution to this I’m going to buy a 3rd party NIC, what cards would you recommend?
Here is the output of ehttools, if that’s of any help:
baldur:/home/terminal # ethtool eth0
