Description of problem: Ethtool does not work properly with the e1000 driver in RHEL 2.1 # uname -a Linux homocorrectus.mine.nu 2.4.9-e.49smp #1 SMP Fri Aug 6 11:44:58 EDT 2004 i686 unknown # ifconfig eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:E9:64:47:F8 inet addr:172.31.0.110 Bcast:172.31.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 RX bytes:5540 (5.4 Kb) TX bytes:5572 (5.4 Kb) # lsmod | grep e1000 e1000 74744 1 # ethtool eth2 Settings for eth2: No data available # mii-tool eth2 eth2: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok So this is very bad for folks who need gigabit support for their NIC cards. Additional info: A work around is to use the e1000_5220k1 for the interface instead, which works correctly with ethtool. J
