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

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....

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



Oct 21 13:13:40 nimbus kernel: [ 0.884990] e1000: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version...

Okay, so I found a script that will show me the module options and the only one that's enabled is copybreak, which is set to 256.

Still no joy, but I tried installing 12.10 (in the hopes that the compilation problem would be gone - it wasn't), and created this config file:


options e1000 debug=16

So that I could at least...

Unfortunately the latest version of the driver won't compile on 3.2 without patching. Argh.

Also, the utility provided by Intel says the driver version is 7.3.21, while Intel's SourceForge site says that the latest version is 8.0.35. Should I try upgrading to that version of the driver?

Any more ideas or am I stuck with installing Windows to get gigabit networking?

So here's what I ran:


# modprobe -r e1000
# modprobe e1000 Speed=1000
# ping 192.168.1.1
Network is unreachable

ethtool doesn't work either.

The specs:
- OS: 12.04.1 Server
- Kernel: 3.2.0-29-generic
- NIC model: Intel 82541GI

So the OS installs just fine, and the network comes up but never goes over 10Mbps. So I went to Intel...

Has there been an update on this? The latest version of the driver on SourceForge is from September 2012, so I imagine it's been updated for the 3.2 kernel. I managed to get it to update, but I can't...

I'm trying to set up an OpenVPN server on 11.04. I have it authenticating alright, but I get a weird error in my log:



new incoming connection would exceed maximum number of clients (10)
