[Bug 596825] [NEW] r8169 driver only @ 100mbit with RTL8169

[avdheiden]

Public bug reported:

I already posted a lot of information @
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/+bug/562742?comments=all

OS         : Ubuntu 10.04 32bit generic
NIC        : TP-Link TG-3269, Realtek 8169 chip based 1 GB.

Included driver r8169 did not work. Downloaded and compiled the source
code from the realtek website. New r8169 module loaded and working but
only fixed at 100mbit. No results with trying to operate the card at
other speed, duplexing, etc with either the usual ethtoo and mii-tool
commands. The card won't even switch to 10mbit.

Upgraded as suggested in the link above to the latest kernel (2.6.23-32)
but again the card does not work at all at any speed, duplexing etc.

lspci result for this card: 05:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek
Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

Nothing out of the ordinairy appears in the logs. lsmod | grep r8169
results in.

r8169                  34076  0 
mii                     4381  2 r8169,e100

The card is thus detected and an appropriate driver is loaded. Compiling
the source from Realtek again results in a working NIC fixed at 100mbit
full duplex.
