This is an Intrepid reinstall (it was working fine before but HDD had some errors), have the same problem, but noticed something

I don't remember having installed any special patches, but on my previous Intrepid setup my interface was named eth0, now it's named eth2. Also something weird when comparing output of mii-tool, and eththool

=> ifconfig

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1c:c0:a7:b3:37

=> mii-tool
eth2: negotiated 1000baseT-HD flow-control, link ok

Says 1000-HD

Says 1000FD, no way to force 1000FD on mii-tool and I don't know which is right.
