[SOLVED] Only 100Mb with NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit NIC

Hi all,

I recently did a reinstall to sort out some niggles and I'm now only getting 100Mb on my NIC. This used to work perfectly and I've not changed any other parts of my setup.

[justin@trantor ~]$ ethtool enp2s0

Thanks for any help you can provide

Re: [SOLVED] Only 100Mb with NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit NIC

Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                         100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

If I read that correctly, the thing you are plugged into is not advertising 1000baseT capability.  What is it into which you are plugged?  Have you tried a different cable -- one that for sure has all 4 twisted pair?

Re: [SOLVED] Only 100Mb with NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit NIC

I've tried changing over the cable (all wires present) with no change. My machine (HP Z800) has two NICS of the same type:

Integrated Broadcom 5764 PCIe LOM Controller
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Plus NIC (PCIe)

These used to work before the reinstall at 1Gb.

My concern is that I used a script for the install to speed things up as I needed to reinstall during work hours... I'm wondering if it's made some assumptions which are faulty.

Re: [SOLVED] Only 100Mb with NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit NIC

You could disable autoneg and set the speed to 1000M, but ewaller is right: you end up w/ 100M because the other side (router, switch - any changes there?) says it can only do 100M.

Re: [SOLVED] Only 100Mb with NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit NIC

I hadn't realised that it was the other side which had the issue. I replaced all the cables and, what do you know, it's working fine again.

Cheers
