Hi Guys,
Got a strange problem (probably just missing something) but when I type ifconfig ale0 10.0.0.250 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex and press enter it successfully sets and seems to set it, ithough when I do ifconfig -a it is set to: media 1000baseT <Full-duplex>, (media 100basetx full-duplex) and I'm only getting 100mb connection. I'm using cat 6 directly into my laptop which is 1gb, also tried my gigabit switch, same thing. I manually set on my laptop nic 1gbs full-duplex but then I lose network connectivity.
When i do ifconfig -m it says I have two 1000baseT options, one full-duplex then other full-duplex,master and the other 10,100 options.
I've tried doing the same thing after type SU so it says I'm logged in as root, still no go.
I've tried using the GUI and enter the same line in the options area of the NIC adapter.
My laptop is a Asus 901 (Atheros network). Is 1000mb not support? even though its saying 1000baseT is available in ifconfig -m?
I'm a linux noob so maybe I'm just doing something wrong?
thanks for the help!
cheers,
nic
