Okay, if I bypass the Linksys switch (connect it directly to the wall, which is controlled by a Netgear FS524 switch) then the Intel Gigabit card runs at 100BaseT. I don't think it is a port or a cable issue, as I've tried ports and cables that work in 100BaseT full duplex mode with other machines on my linksys switch. It appears to just be that the e1000 card can not agree with the Linksys switch. I'd like to get this machine working with the Linksys switch, so any further advice would be welcomed.

Refer to my last 2 emails that have told you what to do several times now.

Isn't it obvious that you are speaking at a level that I cannot understand? I've stated that the only way I can see to force anything to 100BaseT is by passing options pertaining to the e1000 kernel module. You told me in the first email to "force the port on the switch to 100Mb from AUTO." I appreciate your advice, but I've expressed that I haven't a clue how to actually accomplish that with my equipment. So you've been vague and now you are being patronizing. Thanks, but then again, no thanks. Any advice from *anybody else* would be greatly appreciated.
