Hi On my recently acquired netbook (compaq mini-110), the ethernet doesn't autoselect the link speed properly. I think this is because HP chose the cheapest ethernet controler and the cheapest PHY and there's a speed missmatch (or the PHY isn't correctly detected): alc0: <Atheros AR8132 PCIe Fast Ethernet> port 0xec80-0xecff mem 0xfebc0000-0xfebfffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2 alc0: 15872 Tx FIFO, 15360 Rx FIFO alc0: Using 1 MSI message(s). miibus0: <MII bus> on alc0 atphy0: <Atheros F1 10/100/1000 PHY> PHY 0 on miibus0 atphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto alc0: Ethernet address: 00:25:b3:6f:ab:9a alc0: [FILTER] alc0_at_pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x308f103c chip=0x10621969 rev=0xc0 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D3 current D0 cap 05[48] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message cap 10[58] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 128(4096) link x1(x1) cap 03[6c] = VPD The AR8132 is Fast Ethernet, but the Atheros F1 is gigabit capable. If I set the media to 100BaseTX full-duplex it works. Ian -- Ian FreislichReceived on Wed Oct 07 2009 - 04:00:48 UTC
