Gigabit adapter giving only 10Mbit

[Tachi]

I have 3COM 3C940 network adapter (motherboard integrated), which should be capable of up to gigabit connections (allthough my router allows only 10/100). Nevertheless, I get only speeds of 10Mbitps :confused: . It seems the system is using driver "sk98lin". A quick search provided me with this (http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/readme/linux/sk98lin.htm) information. Is the problem with drivers? Router is ok, in any case the problem is within this computer. I use FC3 x86_64.
Thanks.

mii-tool eth0
might give some insight.

[root@localhost aki]# /sbin/mii-tool eth0
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Bad address

Hum, reviewing your driver README you linked to, seems it has no standard MII interface. You need to set such options through the driver. Adding

options sk98lin ConType=100FD

to

/etc/modprobe.conf

may or may not make things happier.

It indeed made things happier. I think. Thanks for quick and polite answer :)
