Can a network connection be unidirectional?
Only at 10/100 Mb. However, a bad connection might cause the NIC to think it has a 10/100 connection, instead of Gb.
The fault can be with the NIC or driver too (or even the combination of a NIC with a particular switch). I have had cases where the NIC would, at first plugging in of the cable, end up in a 10 or 100Mbit state. Then, kicking the software with `ethtool eth0 autoneg on` (autoneg was already on!), just to retrigger negotiation, would switch the link to the 1000 I was expecting. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
