Some additional info.
I experience the same behavior on:
- my 5 year old Dell Dimension 8300, which has a 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- my brand new Dell Vostro 420, which has a RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller.
When I connect the network cable to my Dell Precision M2300 laptop, which has a NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express card, it *does* connect at 1Gb/s.
When I compare the ethtool output from the two, I see that:
- my laptop supports and advertises link mode 1000baseT/Half whereas the Dimension and Vostro don't.
- my laptop has PHYAD 1 whereas the Dimension and Vostro have PHYAD 0.
