[Bug 347711] Re: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller Unstable on Jaunty

[Jorge Suarez]

This is an Intrepid reinstall (it was working fine before but HDD had
some errors), have the same problem, but noticed something

I don't remember having installed any special patches, but on my
previous Intrepid setup my interface was named eth0, now it's named
eth2. Also something weird when comparing output of mii-tool, and
eththool

=> ifconfig

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1c:c0:a7:b3:37  
          inet addr:192.168.1.50  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          Interrupt:220 Base address:0x2000 

=> mii-tool 
eth2: negotiated 1000baseT-HD flow-control, link ok

Says 1000-HD


=> ethtool eth2
Settings for eth2:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
                                1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full

        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

                                1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full

        PHYAD: 0
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: pumbg
        Wake-on: g
        Current message level: 0x00000033 (51)
        Link detected: yes

Says 1000FD, no way to force 1000FD on mii-tool and I don't know which
is right.
