cannot set speed to 1000/FD

["Steven C. Liu" <sliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I recently replaced a FE 3Com card in my Linux server (hostname is 
imladris) with a Netgear GigE card.  I am unable to set it to 1000FD, no 
matter what I do.  I tried forcing it using 'ethtool -s', and setting 
autoneg off and on.  Rebooting didn't help.  Using a different port on 
my GigE switch/hub didn't help.

BTW - I also put a duplicate Netgear GigE card into another Linux server 
(hostname is numenor; additional NIC, not a replacement -- if it  
matters).  On numenor, that NIC is at 1000FD.

I have not yet tried swapping the port and ethernet cable between 
imladris and numenor...

Any other suggestions?  I included some system information below.

TIA,

Steve
