Subject: Re: tg3 driver not advertising 1000mbit

Hi,

Got the output for gbit & 100mbit now.

GBIT:
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95722) rev a200] (PCI Express) MAC address 
00:22:19:be:c4:48
eth0: attached PHY is 5722/5756 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[1] TSOcap[1]
eth0: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.


100mbit (sometimes it goes 100mbit instead of gbit also):
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95722) rev a200 PHY(5722/5756)] (PCI Express) 
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet 00:22:19:c7:28:c3
eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[1] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1]
eth0: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.


Cables are 2 meters long & cat 5e. The servers are in racks, so its all 
near each other :)
