Hi. I noticed that my Zotac IONITX-C-U mainboard is only doing 100mbit although the ethernet device is 1000mbit. I know the chip is a Realtek 8211CL because I looked at the mainboard and got the model number directly from it. If I plug another box into the same cable, it auto-negotiates 1000mbit no problem so that rules out a cable problem. Any help/suggestions are appreciated! Not sure what info is needed but I'm using debian testing with drivers from stable kernel 2.6.38. My kernel config has: Device Drivers > [*] Network device support: <*> PHY Device support and infrastructure > <*> Drivers for Realtek PHYs [*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) > [*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers > <*> nForce Ethernet support dmesg: [ 0.424389] forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver.
