RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Bug in INF file incorrectly indicated 1G connection rate. Consequence: While the connection rate could be set from device manager, it was impossible to set 1G rate using command line tool (netsh with NetKVM plugin). Fix: Set the correct connection rate in INF file Result: NetSH can set NIC connection rate correctly.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1729 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virtio-win bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-21 00:39:25 UTC

Description lijin 2013-07-10 07:50:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
the value of "init.ConnetctionRate(Mb)" cannot be set to 1G with command "netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 1000",but can be set to 1G correctly with command "netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 1001",seems there is a little mistake.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-prewhql-65
kernel-2.6.32-393.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.377.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a win2012 guest with virtio-net-pci
2.Registration in NetSH (instllation):
   1).cmd --> run as administrator
   2).cd path-to-the-netkvm-driver
   3).rundll32 netkvmco.dll,RegisterNetKVMNetShHelper
3.get the index of virtio-net-pci:
   netsh netkvm show devices
4.Read NetKVM parameter value
  netsh netkvm getparam 0 param=ConnectRate
5.Modify NetKVM parameter value to 100M and check the value from device manager
  netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 100
6.Modify NetKVM parameter value to 10G and check the value from device manager
  netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 10000
7.Modify NetKVM parameter value to 1G and check the value from device manager
  netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 1000
8.netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 1001


Actual results:
after step6,all values can be set correctly;
after step7,it prompts in cmd that "The parameter is incorrect";
after step8,the command can be execute successfully and from the device manager the value of "init.ConnetctionRate(Mb" has been set to 1G

Expected results:
the value of "init.ConnetctionRate(Mb" can be set to 1G with step7 instead of step8.

Reproduced this issue on build65
Verified this issue on build66

steps same as comment #0

Actual Results:
On build65, after "netsh netkvm setparam 0 ConnectRate 1000",it prompt "The parameter is incorrect";
On build66,win2012,win2k8R2,win2k8-64,win8-64 and win7-64 can set the connectrate to 1G correctly;as for guest win7-32,win8-32 and win2k8-32,there is bug 988302 to track another issue.

Based on above,this issue has been fixed already.
