most of the gbit nics that have some sort of Realtek 8169 flavor in it. Chances are you will probably have issues get to work in other something that 10mbit H/D.

Well, There is a trick to this madness. If you notice, there is no rge.conf in /kernel/drv.

Create rge.conf with your favorite editor and place the following lines inside it.

speed = 1000;
full-duplex = 1;


What this does is basically disabling autonegotiation and it forces the link speed to 1000 Full duplex.


Reboot the box and your all set.
