I noticed my intel card has two port connected to two different
network through two different switches. I were able to force the eth2
to 100/full using ethtool. However eth3 (the second interface)
disables as shown in `Link detected:' when forcing it to 100/full
default setup up
root at host:~# ethtool eth3
Settings for eth3:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes

100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full

changing it to 100/full from auto
root at host:~# ethtool -s eth3 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
right away the link light goes off and the interface stops working.
root at host:~# ethtool eth3
Settings for eth3:

to enable the link light back on and to make the interface operational
I had to enable the auto negotiation
root at host:~# ethtool -s eth3 autoneg on
root at host:~# ethtool eth3

Any idea why it is behaving one second port but not on first port. It
is a dual port card.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
