Ethernet Qualcom Atheros QCA8172

[pierrotlo]

Hi,

I have installed LMDE 64 bits on a Lenovo G710.
The Ethernet connection Atheros QCA8172 rev. 10 is on.
No problems for connecting
The driver is ok :

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep alx[
alx
/code]

There is only a problem :

[code]
$ sudo mii-toll eth0
eth0: nogatiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

The problem is : this card is a gigabyte card

I have tested with ethtool too :

Code: Select all

$ sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
	Supported ports: [ TP ]
	Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
	                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
	Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
	Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
	Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
	                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
	                        1000baseT/Full 
	Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
	Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
	Speed: 100Mb/s
	Duplex: Full
	Port: Twisted Pair
	PHYAD: 0
	Transceiver: internal
	Auto-negotiation: on
	MDI-X: Unknown
	Current message level: 0x000060e4 (24804)
			       link ifup rx_err tx_err hw wol
	Link detected: yes

And I not understand why this ethernet card wont run in speed 1000
The command

Code: Select all

sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000
   Cannot advertise speed 1000
   Cannot set new settings: Invalid argiment
   not setting speed
