Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop w/ Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) [copied from lspci] using e1000e driver will not connect at gigabit speeds to any gigabit switch (tried Netgear, HP, Linksys, and Cisco). Attempts to force gigibit via ethtool were unsuccessful. Booting to windows (on the same computer) it connects at 1000 without a problem so I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the hardware/cabling. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.5.1-k current kernel: 3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hook up laptop to gigabit switch 2. Boot to Fedora 3. Actual results: Connects at 100Mbps Expected results: Connect at 1000Mbps Additional info: Output from ethtool: Settings for em1: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: off Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000001 (1) drv Link detected: yes This issue has been occurring since Fedora 9 on the same hardware so it does not appear to be a new bug (have previously reported it as a bug on earlier versions of Fedora)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
