Anyone know if SLES11SP1 has working gigabit drivers for a D-Link DGE-530T? I installed a couple Via network cards and I'm not able to achieve gigabit speeds, even though I have a gigabit link. Even connecting them directly I can only get 10/100 speed.
I tried compiling newer drivers for the Via cards but couldn't get them to compile.
Looking at a couple D-Link DGE-530T cards on ebay would like to know they work before purchasing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, James
That card comes with a linux driver (sk98lin) from what I could find. With the Via cards, did you try forcing the speed with ethtool?, make sure that on the switch end you have the right port configuration.
If you're buying a new one, Intel gigabit cards always work.

Thanks for the reply. ethtool looks like it already shows it at 1000. I'm trying to set it anyway but maybe my syntax is wrong? # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: Not reported Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: puag Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000002 (2) Link detected: yes # ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument not setting speed not setting duplex Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
