Getting gigabit networking working with 12.04.1 on a Dell PowerEdge SC1425

Running that command gave me records from each boot that are identical. Here's the latest:

eth0 NIC Link is Up 10 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX

Does the Speed parameter change this?

options e1000 Speed=100 <--or 1000

Also, what does this tell us?

cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/AutoNeg

[icelander]

I tried the speed setting at both 100 and 1000 and it didn't change anything other than taking down the network connectivity until I rebooted. There's no AutoNeg file in that directory, either. Here's what I see:

$ ls /sys/module/e1000/parameters/
copybreak

Any more ideas? It's basically just a paperweight now...
